Asking €25,000 for 143 m2 but described as “da ristrutturare”; estimated €700/m2 for works (~€100,100) yields an effective price ≈ €125,100 (~€875/m2) versus the regional median €446/m2. The property has many photos, central location and ~350 m2 of land, but missing formal condition/energy data and the high renovation bill makes it overpriced after works.
More on the house and the area
Lovely valley/rocky-hill views and a sizeable private plot (~350 m²) give real dream-home potential. Interior rooms are serviceable but dated and the cellar/groundwork need significant work — a cheap buy for someone ready to renovate and personalise.
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€28,000 – €50,000
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 lived-in but clearly needs renovation (damaged ceiling, finishes and likely wiring/plumbing upgrades).
- Large semi-basement cellars are rough and dusty — structural/ damp checks recommended before conversion.
- Bathroom/utility condition is unclear from photos and will likely require upgrading.
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.
