The cadastre lists this as a 'fabbricato rurale' (agricultural building) and the record shows only 1 m² despite 20 photos, so it is likely non‑habitable and not convertible to a dwelling; asking €36,753 does not overcome this legal/use issue.
More on the house and the area
Solid, intact rural building with a small stone-faced house section and large industrial/tiled interiors (cold rooms and hooks) that show its previous use. Structurally usable but it will need removal of industrial fittings, decontamination where appropriate and formal conversion work to become a comfortable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€0 – €1,000
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.
- Property is a former meat-processing/industrial unit with tiled rooms, cold-rooms and hanging rails — decontamination and removal of fittings required.
- Conversion to full-time residential use may require planning/zoning changes and building permits.
- Limited outdoor space and no notable views; setting is utilitarian rather than scenic.
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.
