What it really costs

In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective cost about €1,000/m² (€80k price + estimated €20k renovation) versus the local median ~€467/m², so the total cost is well above regional comparables. The house is habitable, with garage, cellar and a large garden, but the high effective price makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
Solid single‑storey country home with a real garden and garage and characterful interiors (brick arches, beamed ceiling and a large fireplace). Clearly habitable now but dated — best for someone who wants a charming, move‑in house that would benefit from modernising the heating and cosmetic work.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dated finishes and cosmetic refresh needed (paint, some fittings)
- Heating is primarily a wood‑burning stove/insert; central heating not fully installed
- Property accessed from an unpaved road
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 is known for reclaimed lowland agriculture and wetland landscapes.
