What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €333/m² before works, the 300 m² house appears to need substantial renovation; using €700/m² gives an effective cost of about €1,033/m² versus the Umbria baseline of €536/m². The description is vague and omits condition, year details, and energy class, despite describing the property as a personalized renovation project.
More on the house and the area
A handsome yellow Umbrian country house with traditional shutters, mature trees, rustic brick outbuildings, tiled floors, wood paneling, and an attractive old fireplace. It is a genuine, roofed house with bathrooms and heating, not a bare shell, but the interiors are dated and show damp/maintenance issues, while the exterior setting is practical and somewhat workmanlike rather than idyllic.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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 interiors need substantial cosmetic renovation, including repainting, damp repair, and likely kitchen/bathroom updating.
- The property includes extensive rustic outbuildings and hardstanding rather than a polished garden; verify the condition and permitted use of these spaces.
- No strong panoramic view is evident from the photos.
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.
