At €49,000 (€327/m²), the headline price is below the local €406/m² reference, but the description says only part of the 150 m² home is renovated and the remainder is still unfinished. Allowing about €700/m² for completion puts the effective cost near €1,027/m², before considering that the 180 m² warehouse is not living space.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, characterful village house with a private garden, covered terrace, exposed old timber structures, and a historic tower visible behind it. The renovated ground-floor rooms, kitchen, bathroom, heating, and intact roof make part of the home usable, but the upper level and extensive outbuildings still require meaningful completion work.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- The property is only partly renovated; upper-level and ancillary spaces are visibly unfinished or raw.
- The private garden and courtyard are heavily overgrown and will need clearing and landscaping.
- The large covered storage/workshop areas appear utilitarian rather than immediately usable as living space.
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.
