What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 (€186/m²), the house is a deep nominal discount to the €412/m² baseline, but it explicitly requires renovation. Estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €886/m² (€190,500 total), well above the baseline; condition details are incomplete.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic village house with exposed stone, original timber beams, terracotta floors, a private garden and charming period stairwell. It appears structurally roofed and currently usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom and furnished rooms, but it is dated and needs meaningful renovation rather than simple decoration.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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 listing explicitly says it needs renovation, with visibly worn exterior finishes and a neglected terrace.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a multi-level, three-bedroom house.
- The home is spread across several floors, with cellar and attic areas that may need further work.
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.
