At €35,000 (€198/m²), this habitable 177 m² townhouse includes a cellar, garage, accessory room and approximately 300 m² of private garden. Allowing about €35,400 for normal updates gives an effective cost near €398/m², broadly in line with the €406/m² local comparison level; the rural location limits upside.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable old Lombard farmhouse with traditional beams, original-style floors, a working kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom already in place. The private garden is the main lifestyle draw, while the generous 177 sqm, courtyard setting, garage and outbuildings make the €35,000 price especially compelling. It lacks a dramatic view and the interiors are dated, but this is a real home rather than a renovation shell.
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 – €20,000
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 very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The large accessory buildings and roof structures appear rustic; their condition should be checked.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 177 sqm, three-bedroom home, and no energy rating is provided.
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.
