What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €24,000 for 37 sqm, the asking price is €649/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €538/sqm in Lazio; with only part of the systems installed, this reads as a renovation project rather than habitable. Using about €700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €1,349/sqm, so the price is cheap in absolute terms but not a strong deal against this catalog baseline.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic charm in the exposed stone and fireplace, and the price is undeniably tempting for an independent little house with private outdoor space. But this is not a ready dream home: the interior looks unfinished and only partly serviced, so it reads more as a basic renovation project than a beautiful, usable Italian home right now.
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€7,000 – €13,000
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.
- Very small 37 sqm footprint.
- Interiors are raw and unfinished despite basic flooring.
- Condition looks mid-renovation; systems only partly installed.
- Outdoor space is narrow and scruffy rather than a polished garden.
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.
