What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €121/m², the €85,000 price is far below the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m², but the condition is unspecified and a large traditional cascina could require substantial work. Assuming roughly €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €821/m², so the apparent discount is not yet convincing.
More on the house and the area
A handsome traditional Piedmont farmhouse with strong rural character, old shutters, exposed brick outbuildings and a generous garden/grounds. The main house is roofed, floored and evidently usable, but it is very dated and shows significant maintenance and modernization needs rather than being move-in ready.
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€139,000 – €246,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed: peeling plaster, damp-looking walls, old windows and dated systems.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large six-bedroom property.
- The detached agricultural buildings and roof structures should be professionally checked.
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.
