At €45,000 (€237/m²), the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €937/m², well above the local €409/m² benchmark. The remote hamlet location, lack of private parking, shared entrance, and conflicting construction dates add risk despite the low asking price.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly atmospheric old Lombard village house, with warm wood ceilings, terracotta floors, a large traditional fireplace, a bright glazed veranda, and plenty of furnished living space. It is not a bare shell: the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating and utilities appear usable, but the interiors are dated and would benefit from meaningful renovation.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
