What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €899/m², the €62,000 asking price is already 68% above the Umbria baseline of €536/m²; assuming modest €200/m² work, effective cost rises to about €1,099/m². The house appears usable and has 24 photos, but condition and key technical details are missing, limiting confidence.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, compact country house with a functioning kitchen, bedroom, tiled living space, fireplace, and attractive wooden shutters. Its strongest appeal is the mature private garden, stonework, old trees, and peaceful wooded Umbrian hillside setting. The interiors are modest and dated rather than spectacular, but at €62,000 it offers a convincing liveable Italian countryside dream.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Heating appears basic, with a fireplace and portable gas heater visible; full systems should be verified.
- The exterior shows some staining and the extensive garden will require regular maintenance.
- Bathroom condition and utility connections are not shown in the gallery.
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.
