As listed at €33,000 but described “da ristrutturare”, I estimate renovation at €700/m² → €60,200, so effective price ≈€93,200 (≈€1,084/m²). That is more than double the regional baseline of €467/m², making it overpriced as a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed ground-floor property with high ceilings, original stone door/window surrounds and a small private courtyard plus a distant countryside view. The space is currently a cluttered shop and needs a sensible renovation to convert into a comfortable two‑bed home, but at €33k it’s a genuine budget opportunity.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Needs full renovation (kitchen, electrical, heating) to be a comfortable home
- Former shop layout — will require reconfiguration to create true living rooms/bedrooms
- On a main street with traffic and limited privacy; courtyard is small, not a garden
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.
