Asking €89,000 plus an estimated €200/m² to reflect ‘habitable’ condition yields an effective €1,471/m² (≈€103,000 total) versus a regional baseline of €600/m², so this is well above market for the area. The house is recent (2003), ready to live in, and includes 3,000 m² of sloping land, but the per‑m² premium makes it an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
Perched on a hillside with lovely valley/mountain views, this compact 2‑bed home (built 2003) is genuinely habitable with terracotta floors, shutters and a working fireplace. It’s a charming, move‑in property that will reward light cosmetic refreshes and clearing of the steep 3,000 m² plot.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Large private plot (3.000 m²) is mostly steep and will need clearing/maintenance.
- Visible damp/staining on some interior walls/ceilings — investigate before purchase.
- Exterior areas are overgrown and access involves steps; outdoor parking/flat garden is limited.
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.
