What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listing- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,000 price covers 2 hectares of agricultural land and two 50 m² warehouses, not a legally described dwelling. The listing does not say these storage buildings can be converted into a home, so it is unsuitable for a livable-house buyer.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the expansive rural setting: two hectares of open farmland with existing olive trees and potential for an olive grove. However, the property appears to consist of agricultural land and two simple warehouses, not a clearly livable farmhouse, so it is better suited to an ambitious rural project than to immediate living.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- This appears to be agricultural land with two storage buildings rather than a finished home.
- The photos do not prove that either warehouse is legally or practically habitable.
- Remote access, utilities, permits, and conversion costs could be significant.
- The landscape is rural but offers no visible sea, mountain, or standout architectural feature.
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.
