What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 200 sqm country house is listed at €95,000 (€475/sqm), but the description says it is completely to be renovated, implying about €1,100/sqm in works and an effective cost near €1,575/sqm. That is far above the local low-end baseline of €331/sqm, so despite the included agricultural land and privacy, the deal looks only fair for a full restoration project.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old rural house with some honest character: brick outbuilding volumes, a fireplace, timber-beam ceilings and a big piece of land. But the condition is firmly project territory, with widespread damp, tired interiors and basic facilities, so it feels like a full renovation rather than an easy home. The low €/m² and included agricultural land help the appeal, but the wow is more potential than present-day livability.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not move-in ready
- Visible damp, worn finishes and likely outdated systems
- Only one basic bathroom shown
- Flat rural setting is private but without standout views
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.
