What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although reconstructed in 2021, the house is sold allo stato grezzo and needs substantial finishing; estimating €700/m² puts the effective cost near €1,140/m² (€138,700 total), versus a €492/m² regional baseline. The 121 m² size, garden, parking and 21 photos help, but the required completion work makes the €69,000 asking price weak.
More on the house and the area
The yellow farmhouse has a very photogenic exterior, generous grassed grounds, a separate outbuilding, and an appealing canal-side rural setting. However, the main house is only structurally completed and is sold allo stato grezzo, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a livable 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€24,000 – €43,000
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.
- Sold as an unfinished shell, with bare brick interiors and no visible kitchen or finished bathroom.
- Substantial finishing work is needed, including plastering, flooring, electrical and plumbing systems, heating, and fixtures.
- The rural setting beside a canal is attractive but appears exposed to nearby farmland and a road.
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.
