What it really costs
- Only a share of the property is for sale
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly sells the nuda proprietà, so the buyer does not obtain full ownership or immediate unrestricted use; this is a veto red flag regardless of the €405/m² asking price. The farmhouse is described as being in discrete condition, but likely still requires renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, functioning farmhouse with a fitted kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, air conditioning, balcony, and extensive surrounding land. The countryside and distant mountain views are the main attraction, but the exterior is very rustic and the interiors are dated rather than especially beautiful. The nuda proprietà arrangement significantly reduces its immediate livability as a home.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.
- Nuda proprietà: the buyer may not have immediate possession or occupancy rights.
- Interiors are usable but dated, while the exterior and outbuildings need substantial cosmetic and practical improvement.
- Large rural property includes basic agricultural structures and a somewhat makeshift yard.
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.
