In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €49,500 (375 €/m²) with an estimated 200 €/m² rehab (habitable condition) gives an effective cost of about €576/m², well above the Piemonte median of €356/m². Positives are a 4,000 m² private woodland, garage and 48 photos, but after estimated works this is not a deep discount.
More on the house and the area
A charming, habitable woodland retreat with large windows, parquet floors, wood-burning stove, enclosed veranda and about 4,000 m² of private forest — great for someone wanting a real house in nature. The structure is liveable now but needs cosmetic updating and completion of one rustic bathroom/room; excellent value for the price.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Cosmetic updates needed (kitchen/bath finishes and modernisation).
- One room with bathroom currently in rustic/unfinished state.
- Steep site and steps — access and mobility may be an issue; remote location.
- Confirm heating/utility systems and energy performance.
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.
