Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €654/m² before works, this is already about 52% above the €430/m² local comparison point; allowing roughly €500/m² for unspecified condition makes the effective cost substantially higher. The listing offers generous space, a garage and 49 photos, but it does not state the condition, construction year or energy performance, and the inland location has limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, clearly livable country house with a sound exterior, generous paved terrace/parking area, mature trees and open rolling-hill views. Inside it has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, heating and a fireplace, though the finishes and furnishings are dated rather than stylish. At €85,000, the space, setting and immediate usability create a strong value appeal, but it is more practical than dreamlike.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- The interiors are livable but dated, with heavy decorative finishes and older kitchen and bathroom fittings.
- The large paved forecourt dominates the outdoor space; the garden/land appears sloped and somewhat overgrown.
- Rural access and utility connectivity should be verified.
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.
