See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €96,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€161,000) yields an effective cost ≈€257,000 or ≈€1,117/m², far above the local baseline of €349/m². The property has been listed 297 days; despite 40 photos and a large 17,000 m² plot, the renovation burden makes this overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Solid 1980s concrete house with large terraces, garage/magazzino and an unusually large 17,000 m² plot — a rare countryside bargain with pleasant valley/colline views. The building is structurally complete and liveable after renovation, but many finishes, services and the covered outdoor area need work.
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€46,000 – €81,000
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.
