Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€324/m²), this central Ostiano house is attractively priced upfront, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €524/m² versus a €469/m² local benchmark. The description says three bedrooms while the facts list nine beds, so the actual layout should be verified.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable country house with a working kitchen, bathroom, multiple rooms, a large private courtyard, and a productive garden. It is not visually spectacular, but the €60,000 price and generous outdoor space give it practical appeal for someone seeking an affordable Italian home rather than a postcard property.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Interiors and bathroom are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The large paved courtyard and outbuildings appear utilitarian rather than polished.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 185 sqm, 10-room home; no notable scenic view is shown.
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.
