What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €375/sqm; adding a light habitable-update estimate of €200/sqm gives an effective €575/sqm, still below the local baseline of €723/sqm. Central historic-village position and a described renovation about 10 years ago support the value, though the lack of heating keeps it just below diamond level.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with a striking vaulted interior and exposed stone details that give it authentic old-borgo character. It is clearly habitable with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom already in place, though it feels simple rather than polished and would benefit from cosmetic updating. The setting in the historic center by the church adds atmosphere, and at €30k the value helps the wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No heating system visible/listed
- Interiors are habitable but quite plain and dim
- Some signs of moisture/aging on vaulted walls/ceilings
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.
