Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€630/m²), the asking price is already about 55% above comparable local stock. The listing does not say whether the home is renovated; allowing roughly €700/m² for updates puts the effective cost near €1,330/m², making this a weak deal despite the garden, garage potential, and outbuildings.
More on the house and the area
A spacious traditional Lombard townhouse with shutters, tiled roof, covered portico, private paved courtyard, and a leafy garden/vegetable area. It looks like a genuine, established home rather than a renovation shell, with attractive rustic potential and excellent space for the price, although the main interiors are not shown and the accessory buildings are visibly utilitarian.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Main living interiors are not shown, so the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms, and finishes is unverified.
- The roof, portico, rustic outbuildings, and wood storage areas appear older and should receive a structural and maintenance inspection.
- Energy class, heating, and utility details are not provided.
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.
