In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
With an estimated €200/m² work the effective price is €64,000 (≈€582/m²), about 63% above the regional baseline of €356/m²; the house is habitable with a good roof and 17 photos but heating is currently with wood stoves and the location is remote (144 km from the sea).
More on the house and the area
A sunny, lived-in village house with a private garden/orto, fruit trees and lovely wooded-valley views — great for someone who wants real outdoor space. The accommodation is habitable with a good roof and solid rooms, but the interiors are dated and the barn needs work; overall a strong, affordable home for light-to-moderate 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€7,000 – €12,000
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 will need cosmetic updating (bathroom/kitchen style).
- Heating currently by wood stoves; gas connection possible but not present.
- Separate brick outbuilding/tettoia appears in poor condition and would need repair if reused.
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.
