What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €28,000 asking price looks low, but a 200 m² house needing renovation and currently lacking heating could require roughly €140,000 in works, bringing the effective cost to about €840/m² versus a local comparison level of €353/m². The garden, parking and full ownership help, but the scale of renovation makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 200 m² rural house with a pleasant open view over fields, a generous garden, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and usable finished floors. It is not a ruin or empty shell, but the dated interiors, maintenance issues, and lack of heating mean it needs meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable dream home; the €28,000 price is the main attraction.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
