In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation €700/m² → €42,000 total, so effective price ≈ €92,000 or ≈€1,533/m² versus regional median ≈€409/m², making this far above typical market value. Listing also omits energy class and year, shows 0 bathrooms and only 3 photos, so condition/details are incomplete.
More on the house and the area
A tiny, characterful two‑storey casetta wedged against a church with original cornice detail and a small balcony overlooking the square. Structurally intact and roofed but clearly in need of renovation and installation of basic services — a genuine low‑cost project for someone who wants to live in a quirky, historic spot near Mantova.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs renovation — likely requires new kitchen/bath and interior refit
- Small (60 m²) with only 4 rooms — tight living space
- Attached directly to a church: potential noise, access/heritage restrictions
- No interior photos / utilities and condition of systems unknown
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.
