What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €571/m², the asking price is already 16% above the Emilia-Romagna townhouse baseline of €492/m²; assuming a habitable but not renovated home, effective cost rises to about €771/m². The description highlights a garden, parking and a usable three-level layout, but condition, bathrooms and energy data are missing.
More on the house and the area
A characterful semi-independent farmhouse with a covered veranda, mature garden, open rural surroundings, and attractive old brick agricultural buildings. The main house appears solid and usable, with tiled floors, heating, and a roof intact, but the interiors are very basic and need cosmetic work; bathroom provision is unclear.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€7,000 – €12,000
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 are plain and dated, with visible wall marks and loose wiring, so refreshing will be needed.
- No bathroom is shown in the gallery and the facts list zero bathrooms; verify its condition and usability.
- The garden is quite overgrown, and the house fronts a fairly busy-looking road.
- The attractive old agricultural outbuilding may require substantial maintenance or renovation.
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.
