At €15,000 (€197/m²), this is a very low purchase price, but substantial renovation at about €700/m² brings the estimated all-in cost to roughly €897/m²—above the local €646/m² reference. The central independent layout and 11 photos help, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are or clarify the renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, compact traditional home with an old fireplace, arched doorways, patterned tile floors, and some vintage character. However, it is plainly dated, shows damp or plaster deterioration, and appears to lack a usable bathroom, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in dream home. The €15,000 price is a strong bargain if the legal and utility situation checks out.
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€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.
- Advertised as needing renovation
- No bathroom is shown or listed in the facts

- No garden, notable view, or attractive exterior is evident
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.
