Asking €290,000 (1,450 €/m²) in Villafranca vs regional median €402/m²; even with a modest €200/m² renovation the effective price is ~€1,650/m² (≈4× baseline). The listing omits condition and energy class, so the high price looks unsupported by the information provided.
More on the house and the area
A well‑kept, move‑in ready family home with a covered terrace, gated driveway and a large private garden with olive trees — pleasant rural views make it appealing to live in. The property is functional and attractive from the outside, though interiors aren’t shown so check finishes and layout before deciding.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- No interior photos provided — internal finishes and condition not visible
- Semi‑detached (porzione di bifamiliare) so there is a shared wall
- Modern/suburban building — not a historic/character property
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.
