What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly describes a 90 m² magazzino (storage building), not a legally habitable dwelling, so it fails the core purchase criterion despite the €80,000 price. The €941/m² asking price is also far above the €380/m² Lombardy farmhouse baseline, before conversion or renovation costs.
More on the house and the area
A peaceful, highly private countryside setting with extensive wooded land, olive trees, fruit plants, gardens, and generous outdoor living areas. The main building appears roofed and structurally present, but it is presented as a warehouse and the lack of interior photos makes it impossible to confirm that this is a ready-to-live-in 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€34,000 – €50,000
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 is described as a magazzino/warehouse rather than a confirmed residential home.
- No interior photos are provided, so the kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The outdoor areas and structures look rustic and functional rather than polished; check planning status and residential conversion rights.
- The large wooded and cultivated grounds may require substantial ongoing maintenance.
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.
