What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is completely to restore at about €1,100/m² renovation cost, so the effective cost is roughly €1,335/m² (€54,000 + renovation on 230 m²), far above the low Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €264/m². Still, for a large detached rustic near the town center with 26 photos and no legal red flags, €54,000 asking price is attractive for buyers specifically seeking a full renovation project.
More on the house and the area
This has real farmhouse presence: a long tiled roofline, brick pillars, a deep covered terrace and a generous private yard give it rustic charm. But the listing explicitly says it is completely to be renovated, and the photos show only basic, tired living spaces plus large raw agricultural areas, so it is more a substantial project than an easy move-in home. At the price and size it has strong bargain appeal, but the wow is capped by condition.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€91,000 – €135,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated
- Interiors are very dated and dusty with basic finishes
- Large attached farm/outbuilding areas appear non-habitable as shown
- No proven scenic view beyond flat agricultural fields
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.
