In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000, the estimated effective cost is about €533/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, above the local comparison level of €400/m². The independent house includes cellars, a 30 m² tavernetta and 7,000 m² of land, but the listing gives inconsistent floor-area and bathroom details and Fossalto is relatively remote.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and apparently habitable townhouse, not a renovation shell, with multiple bedrooms, heating and usable living spaces. The rustic exposed-stone tavernetta/dining room and fireplace provide the main Italian character, although the overall finish is modest and dated rather than dream-home polished.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 dated, especially the bathrooms, flooring and furnishings.
- The gallery does not show the 7,000 sqm parcel, balcony, roof or broader exterior condition.
- Energy performance and exact bathroom count should be verified.
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.
