At €833/m², plus an estimated €300/m² to complete the personalization, the effective cost is about €1,133/m²—over three times Piemonte's €355/m² baseline. The renovated claim is weakened by the need for personalization, only 3 photos, and limited technical data; the 11,000 m² agricultural land may explain part of the premium but not enough.
More on the house and the area
A clean, renovated-looking Piedmont townhouse with a traditional wooden roof structure, shutters, and a useful balcony. Its strongest appeal is the combination of 90 sqm, garage/heating, and approximately 11,000 sqm of agricultural land at €75,000, but the exterior is fairly plain and there is no demonstrated view or standout historic interior.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so the interior condition and finish quality cannot be verified.
- The home is described as renovated but still needs personalization.
- The large agricultural plot, access, utilities, and permitted use should be confirmed.
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.
