What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale/Grosseto), a veto for our catalog; estimated renovation €700/m² gives total ≈ €107,640 (≈€861/m²) which is above the regional median €656/m². The ad also warns images are not real and the provided facts conflict with the description (bathroom/energy class), so key data are unreliable.
More on the house and the area
Large 125 m² terraced house in the historic hamlet of Prata with independent entrance and intact floors/roof — a true liveable renovation rather than a ruin. At ~€20k it’s a very attractive bargain for Tuscany, but you must confirm the real condition and scope of works before bidding.
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€25,000 – €44,000
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.

- Listing states the photos are indicative and may not be of the actual unit — verify real images/planimetry.
- Property is listed as 'needs renovation' — expect significant interior work (kitchen, bathrooms, windows, finishes).
- No private garden/land shown; located in a historic centre so access/parking could be limited.
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 around
Location score 70/100The town sits within the Colline Metallifere (Metalliferous Hills), a named low-hill range with wooded slopes and a long history of mining. Lago dell'Accesa, a small natural lake, lies a few kilometres from the town. The surrounding hills contain former mine workings and industrial-archaeological sites in nearby communes such as Gavorrano. The immediate countryside is agricultural, with vineyards and olive groves typical of the Maremma. There is no national park or UNESCO site inside a 15 km radius. Nearest ski lifts are on Monte Amiata, roughly an hour-plus drive away. The nearby comune of Gavorrano provides local shops and basic services; larger centres (Grosseto and the Tyrrhenian coast) lie beyond the 15 km radius.
