What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €603/m², the €82,000 asking price is about 52% above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m², so it is not a clear bargain. The independent layout and 34 photos support probable basic habitability, but condition and renovation needs are unspecified.
More on the house and the area
A handsome traditional Piedmontese village house with a charming shuttered façade, generous private paved courtyard, balcony, garage, and attractive old-fashioned details. The interiors are exceptionally clean and bright, with finished floors, working-looking kitchen, radiators, and no evidence of a major renovation project, making it a genuinely livable home rather than a shell.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a relatively spacious four-bedroom home.
- The property is in a dense residential village setting, with no countryside or mountain view visible.
- Some exterior plaster and finishes look dated, despite the house appearing immediately usable.
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.
