What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 90 sqm farmhouse is listed at €78,000 (€867/sqm); assuming a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,567/sqm, far above the local baseline of €306/sqm for sub-€100k stock. The large 6,200 sqm agricultural land and panoramic hill setting add some value, but the pricing still looks ordinary-to-weak for a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
The setting is pleasant, with open Marche countryside, rolling hills and a decent amount of land around the house. But the house itself looks very plain and somewhat shut down from the outside, with boarded windows and no photo proof of a ready, livable interior. This feels more like a basic rural project than an immediately dreamy home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Exterior looks tired and likely needs renovation
- Some openings are boarded up, suggesting limited current usability
- No interior photos to confirm kitchen, bathroom, or finish condition
- Rural setting means utilities/access should be checked carefully
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.
