What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is €467/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €575/sqm, so the entry price is already below baseline. But the description suggests an older rustic/portion of house with no clear renovated or habitable claim, so I assume about €700/sqm renovation; that makes the effective cost ordinary rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real house rather than a shell, with solid floors, stairs and usable rooms, so it has genuine livability potential. But the photos show a very ordinary facade, no notable view or character, and interiors that feel basic and tired rather than dream-home beautiful. It looks more like a practical low-cost town house needing refreshment than a wow property.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Interiors are very plain and need clear cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is mentioned for a 150 sqm, 4-bed house.
- Street-facing position on the main square means limited privacy/no private outdoor space.
- Photos do not show a finished kitchen, so immediate move-in readiness is uncertain.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
