What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The building is currently cadastral category C/2 warehouse ('magazzino') and only could become residential after a change-of-use project, so it is not a straightforward legal dwelling now. At €67,000 for 230 sqm (€291/sqm) it looks cheap versus the €297/sqm baseline, but the legal status veto overrides price.
More on the house and the area
The mountain view from the terrace and the private garden give it some appeal, and the price per square metre is strikingly low. But this is not presented as a livable home today: it is a large former warehouse/rustico needing a full residential conversion and substantial work. Dream potential exists, yet the current wow is capped by usability.
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€91,000 – €135,000
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.
- Currently registered as C/2 warehouse, so residential use needs change-of-use approval
- Photos do not show habitable interiors; appears more like storage space than a ready home
- Likely requires major renovation and full fit-out for kitchen/living areas
- Exterior is plain and setting includes roadside/utility-line intrusion
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.
