€24,000 plus estimated renovation €15,600 (78 m2 × €200/m2) yields an effective price of €39,600 or ~€508/m2, which is above the regional median of ~€425/m2. The house is habitable and has 17 photos but needs modernization and is 10 km from the sea, so it is not a standout bargain for the area.
More on the house and the area
Solid, immediately habitable terratetto with lovely valley/hill views and a small outdoor/olive-tree area. The layout is practical but interiors are dated — a low‑cost, liveable home that becomes a very attractive country residence after some sensible updating.
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 – €9,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and bathroom/kitchen need modernization
- Only one bedroom and a single bathroom — modest living space
- Upper floor reached by external stairs; energy class G — likely poor insulation/heating
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.
