What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €210,000 (€1,400/m2); with modest works estimated at €200/m2 the effective price is ~€1,600/m2, well above the regional median of €707/m2. The house is centrally located with a garden and 18 photos, but the listing omits the property's condition and age, so it looks overpriced for the market.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, move‑in condition interiors with exposed wooden beams and terracotta roof tiles give authentic Tuscan character. The house is clearly habitable with fitted kitchens and bathrooms, but photos show little of the garden/exterior and the layout is currently split into separate units — confirm outdoor space and configuration before proceeding.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- No exterior or garden photos — verify the outdoor space shown in the listing.
- Property is presented as three internal units; check floorplan/permits if you want one unified family home.
- Listing price (€210k) is above typical “cheap” budget — compare market and running costs.
- Energy class/age details not provided — confirm systems and structural condition.
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.
