Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €38,000 plus estimated renovation €20,000 (200€/m²) gives an effective cost of ≈€58,000 or €580/m², which is noticeably above the regional median of €400/m². The listing includes 12 photos and describes a habitable 100 m² semi‑detached house at 740 m asl, but its mountain location (54 km from the sea) and the renovation budget make it a middling value compared with local stock.
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in two‑storey village house with a working fireplace, original arches and a private fig‑filled garden — good character for the price. It’s a realistic move‑in with cosmetic work and a heating upgrade, making it a charming budget buy rather than a turnkey dream home.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating needed (kitchen and finishes) though rooms are usable now
- No visible modern central heating — likely needs system upgrade
- Small garden requires clearing and some care
- Located on a street with on-road parking and limited immediate views
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
