At €240/m², the asking price is well below the local €348/m² reference, but the 250 m² house is currently used as storage and its legal residential status and condition are not stated. Allowing roughly €700/m² for conversion and renovation makes the effective cost about €940/m², weakening the deal substantially.
More on the house and the area
A handsome historic Friulian farmhouse with a long characterful facade, old shutters, tiled roof and generous surrounding land. However, the photos show an agricultural storage complex with machinery, sheds and no finished living interiors, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a realistically usable home today.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.
- Currently used as a storage/agricultural building rather than a ready home.
- Major renovation is likely needed, including interiors, utilities, bathrooms and kitchen.
- The large building and land may involve substantial maintenance and conversion costs.
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.
The area around
Location score 41/100The area lies on the central Friulian plain, with cultivated flat land and scattered villages. The Tagliamento is west of this part of the plain, but not within the immediate landscape around the cluster. Udine is the nearest city of size, with services, shops and rail connections. This part of Friuli is known for agriculture and for the broad open plain between the Adriatic and the Julian and Carnic Alps, which are visible in clear weather but outside the local 15 km landscape.
