See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€296/m²), the 169 m² house appears to need substantial updating, bringing estimated total cost to about €168,300, or €996/m²—well above the local €350/m² benchmark. The listing describes a 1940s property to personalize in a remote hamlet, but does not state its precise condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A charming 1940s mountain country house with distinctive red shutters, traditional detailing, a large garden, and green Friulian valley surroundings. The home is genuinely furnished and usable, with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and multiple living spaces, but it is dated and the visibly compromised roof makes this more than a cosmetic refresh.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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 roof structure shows visible deterioration and likely needs substantial repair.
- Interiors are usable but dated, with only one bathroom and clear modernization needs.
- The property is in a mountain setting, so access, heating, and year-round services should be checked.
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.
