Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€198/m²), this 177 m² country house is priced about 58% below comparable local stock; allowing roughly €200/m² for ordinary updating gives an effective cost near €398/m². The layout, bathroom, cellar, garden and garage suggest a usable home, but the listing does not say its condition, age or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable rural house with a generous private garden, productive-looking trees, traditional beams, tiled floors, and a very appealing rustic atmosphere. The interiors are old-fashioned rather than renovated, but there is a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, bedrooms, heating stove, and substantial usable space. At €35,000 for 177 sqm with garden and outbuildings, the value is a major part of the appeal.
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 fully usable but distinctly dated, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The large covered outbuildings and older roof structures should be professionally inspected.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 177 sqm home.
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.
