See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €25,000 plus estimated €38,000 of works (200 €/m²) gives an effective €63,000 or about €332/m² versus the local typical €260/m², so the effective cost is above regional norms; large 3,000 m² plot, 30 photos and mostly habitable condition support value, but 286 days on market (stale listing) lowers the appeal.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, characterful farmhouse portion with intact brick barrel-vault ceilings, a working fireplace and solid, lived-in rooms — clearly habitable on the ground floor. Large private grounds (approx. 3,000 m²) and a country façade give real charm; upstairs rooms and some systems need renovation but this is a high-value, realistic move-in-and-improve opportunity.
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 – €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.
- Upper floor bedrooms need renovation/refurbishment
- Only one bathroom shown
- Garden/grounds are overgrown and need clearing
- Heating/energy systems appear dated or unspecified
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.
