What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 for 46 sqm, the ask is €391/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €421/sqm, but the description says it needs a complete renovation, so I used about €1,100/sqm renovation cost. That makes the effective cost roughly €1,491/sqm, so this is cheap to buy but only a good-not-exceptional deal after full works; being 6 km from the sea helps a bit.
More on the house and the area
The old brick facade and big rustic fireplace give it some genuine Italian character, and the price is strikingly low. But this is not a ready home: the interiors are very worn and need a full renovation before comfortable living. It feels more like a small restoration project than a dreamy move-in 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€18,000 – €27,000
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.
- Needs a complete renovation; interiors show cracking, peeling plaster and dated/partial fittings.
- Livability is very limited as presented despite one bathroom being listed.
- Only 46 sqm over 2 levels, so space is tight.
- No view, terrace or outdoor space shown.
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.
