What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 75 m² rustic farmhouse is priced at €667/m², but its “spaces to reinvent” imply substantial renovation of about €900/m², producing an estimated effective cost of €1,567/m² versus the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m². It is a viable dwelling project, but the asking price leaves little value after renovation.
More on the house and the area
An authentic Lombard village farmhouse with a characterful timber balcony, exposed beams, traditional shutters and a covered outdoor passage. It is a real, roofed and floored house with usable rooms, but the damp, aging interiors and likely need for systems and kitchen upgrades keep it well below dream-home condition.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Clearly needs substantial cosmetic renovation, with damp staining, peeling plaster and worn finishes.
- The kitchen appears basic or incomplete, and the bathroom is very dated.
- No notable landscape view or private garden is shown.
- Verify the condition of the balcony, roof structure and utilities before purchase.
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.
