See what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€52,500), so effective price €121,500 or €1,620/m² versus the Toscana median of €659/m². At this price—more than double the local median—for a property that “needs renovation” the listing looks overpriced for its condition.
More on the house and the area
A compact, honest terraced house with a functioning bathroom, two double bedrooms and a small private resede — clearly a liveable shell. Bright ground‑floor living space and intact floors/stairs mean it’s a straightforward renovation project rather than a full rebuild, but expect damp repairs, a new kitchen and window/insulation work to make it comfortable.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.

- Needs cosmetic renovation and some repairs (kitchen removed).
- Ceiling damp/mould stains visible in upstairs rooms — investigate roof/plumbing.
- Single‑glazed windows and external boiler; thermal efficiency will need 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.
The area around
Location score 61/100The area sits in the hills between the lower Arno plain and the Valdera, with mixed farmland, olive groves, vineyards and wooded ridges. The nearest river landscape of note is the Arno plain to the north, while within the local hills the countryside is shaped more by small valleys than by a major water feature. Pisa is the nearest city of size, with the airport, university and the monuments around Piazza dei Miracoli; Pontedera is closer for everyday services and rail links. Lari has a historic hilltop centre with its castle, and Casciana Terme is known for its thermal baths. The wider area is known for wine, olive oil and rolling agricultural countryside.
