195 m2 house listed at €150,000; assuming modest modernization (€200/m2 → €39,000) the effective price is ~€969/m2, well above the regional median of €400/m2. The property is described as in good condition with many photos, but the effective €/m2 makes it look overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, spacious detached house with a private garden, long balcony and pleasant views over fields — the exterior and layout are immediately appealing. Interiors are neat and fully habitable but clearly dated, so it’s a ready-to-live-in home that will reward modest updating rather than a full rebuild.
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 – €22,000
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.
- Interiors are dated — kitchen and bathrooms need modernisation.
- Some cosmetic updates (flooring, doors, finishes) will be required to personalise.
- Energy performance / technical details not specified — check heating, wiring and insulation.
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
