Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 100 m², the asking price is €400/m², already above the local €356/m² reference; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €600/m². The listing includes a garden, garage and autonomous heating, but does not state the home's condition, and the quiet hillside location offers limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable two-level home with functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating, a small private garden, and garage. Its appeal is practical rather than spectacular: peaceful green surroundings and a pleasant outdoor area, but dated decoration and visible exterior wear keep it out of the dream-home tier.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dated interiors and kitchen/bathroom finishes would benefit from modernization.
- Visible exterior cracking, peeling render, and general maintenance needs should be inspected.
- The setting is peaceful and green, but there is no notable panoramic view shown.
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.
