What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €349/m² asking price is below the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m², the property is currently cadastrally classified as ripostigli (storage rooms), not a dwelling. Its potential residential conversion is uncertain and would require substantial work, so it fails the livability requirement.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic Lombard farmhouse complex with attractive old brickwork, tiled roofs, open farm buildings and generous grassy land. However, the available images show a largely utilitarian, partially unfinished rural property, and the description confirms it is currently registered as storage space with significant adaptation likely required. It has strong renovation potential, but not yet the feel of a beautiful, usable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€66,000 – €97,000
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 property appears to be a rough rural/storage complex rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
- The listing says the main body is currently registered as storage rooms, so residential conversion and planning approval must be verified.
- No interior photos are provided; utilities, kitchen, bathroom condition, roof and structural systems are unclear.
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.
