What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly presents this as a rural/agricultural complex for farming, grazing, and storage of tools/machinery, not as a dwelling, which is a veto for this catalog. Even ignoring that, at 500 sqm and €90,000 it would require major conversion/restoration costs far beyond the low €180/sqm ask.
More on the house and the area
This is a huge rural compound with a big garden/yard and strong bargain appeal for the amount of space. But the photos show a tired, partly stripped and cluttered property with dated finishes, signs of neglect, and no evident ready-to-live charm. It feels more like a substantial renovation project than an immediate dream home.
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€198,000 – €293,000
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.
- Large complex but clearly needs major renovation and clearing out
- Interiors look partly unused/raw, with leaks or damp staining visible
- Only one dated bathroom shown and no functional kitchen visible
- Rural courtyard setting is practical rather than scenic
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.
