Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000, the home costs €825/m² before completing the ground-floor garage and other works; with an estimated €500/m² renovation allowance, the effective cost is about €1,325/m² versus a local reference of €585/m². The 1,000 m² plot, independence, and proximity to Maenza add value, but the asking price is still high for a semi-renovated property.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable independent home surrounded by roughly 1,000 sqm of fruit-tree land, with broad tiled terraces and a beautiful wooded mountain setting. The main living level appears move-in ready, while the lower fireplace room adds versatility; however, finishes are dated and the separate garage/storage space remains unfinished.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €23,000
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 kitchen/bathrooms are functional but distinctly dated.
- The ground-floor garage/storage area still needs finishing.
- Sloping rural access and extensive outdoor maintenance may be practical considerations.
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.
