What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says the farmhouse is 'completely to be demolished and rebuilt', so this is effectively a ruin rather than a normal renovation project. At €30,000 for 145 sqm the entry price is low, but with a full rebuild-level cost (~€1,100/sqm) the effective cost is about €1,307/sqm, far above the €695/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a low-cost rural plot with some countryside context, but the house itself is not a usable home. The listing explicitly says it must be demolished and rebuilt, so any dream here is about a future project rather than living in the existing property.
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€57,000 – €85,000
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.
- Explicitly for demolition and full rebuild
- Current structure appears partly open and not habitable
- Roadside setting is plain, with no notable view
- Attached on one side to another building
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.
