Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€262/m²), the asking price is low, but the three-level early-1900s house is presented as a project and could require about €700/m² to renovate, bringing the effective cost near €701/m². Its central position in Torsa and 15 photos help, but the local comparison is limited and the listing does not say enough about the actual condition or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial early-1900s village farmhouse with authentic character, tiled roofs, old beams, a courtyard/garden, and a memorable setting beside the historic church tower. The aerial views open toward green countryside and distant mountains, while the €49,000 price is striking for 187 sqm. It appears usable rather than derelict, but the interiors are dated and at least partly in need of modernization.
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€37,000 – €66,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but very dated and would benefit from renovation.
- The house fronts the main road and village square, so privacy and traffic noise may be concerns.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large three-level home; confirm the full layout and utility systems.
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.
