What it really costs
Can you move in?
Move in as it is
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The main 155 m² townhouse is immediately habitable at €419/m², with a garage, independent courtyard and 650 m² of land, but estimated effective cost rises to about €619/m² after €31,000 of basic renovation allowance. This is substantially above the €356/m² local comparison level; the additional storage and former hayloft may add value, but their residential conversion is not guaranteed.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable Piedmontese townhouse with traditional shutters, balcony, patterned tile floors, a private courtyard and substantial associated land. It is move-in capable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are old-fashioned and the impressive detached former hayloft is currently a rough project rather than finished living space.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 are habitable but distinctly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The detached three-level outbuilding appears largely storage/farm space and would require substantial work to convert.
- The roof structure and older systems should be checked carefully before purchase.
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.
