See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,500 (€492/m²), the asking price is already about 18% above comparable local stock, and allowing roughly €12,000 for ordinary updating brings the effective cost to about €692/m². The home is near the town center and has 19 photos, but the listing does not say whether it is move-in ready or needs substantial work.
More on the house and the area
A charming, genuinely livable village house with beautiful stone-paved lanes, a traditional fireplace, old woodwork, and distinctive vintage tiles. The 60 sqm layout appears solid and functional, though the finishes are dated and the exterior needs some maintenance. At €29,500, the working fireplace, heating, and extra storage room make it an appealing budget home rather than a renovation shell.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 fully usable but distinctly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Exterior plaster shows age and cracking that should be checked.
- The home is in a compact village setting with no private garden, terrace, or clear panoramic view.
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.
