The €80,000 asking price is attractive at €308/m², but the listing explicitly says the 260 m² property requires complete renovation, bringing estimated all-in costs to about €262,000, or €1,008/m². That is far above the €380/m² local comparison level, and the mixed residential/commercial layout adds planning and conversion uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizable historic farmhouse with rustic masonry, balconies, a private internal court and a 300-square-metre garden. However, the interiors are empty and heavily deteriorated, while parts of the adjoining structure appear unsafe or collapsing, so it is not a realistically usable home without a major renovation.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €91,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Integral renovation is required, including worn interiors, outdated systems and significant masonry repairs.
- The large annex/courtyard structure appears partially collapsed or structurally compromised.
- No views or standout architectural interiors are shown; the property is better suited to a development project than immediate living.
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.
