Estimated renovation €600/m2 (roof recently redone) → renovation €60,000 and effective price €99,000 = €990/m2 vs regional baseline €531/m2. The property has scenic views and a 500 m² garden, but at 937 days on market and with complete internal renovation required it reads as overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic stone farmhouse with a recently replaced roof, exposed beams and a private garden/olive trees, set on a hill with sweeping views of the Apuan Alps. The shell and roof look sound, but the interiors need full renovation (floors, services and finishes) — a realistic project for someone who wants a charming, affordable Tuscan home. At €39k it’s a strong bargain if you budget for substantial interior works.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
