Listing price €100,000 plus an estimated €48,000 renovation (€/m² €200) gives an effective €148,000 or ~€617/m² vs regional baseline €306/m², so it is significantly above local norms; the ad claims “ristrutturata a nuovo” while condition is recorded as Habitable, and the property has been on market 602 days.
More on the house and the area
A well‑renovated village house with beautiful brick vaults, a working wood-fired thermocamino, private courtyard and garage, and a truly panoramic view of the rolling Piemonte hills. Move-in condition and included furnishings make this a real liveable bargain, though balconies need minor attention and a couple of bathrooms/attic spaces are tight.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Some balcony concrete shows wear and may need repair
- Upper/bathroom spaces are small/under-eaves (limited headroom)
- Street-front location — possible noise/parking constraints
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.
