Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Whole 420 m² 1970 bifamiliare at €250,000 (€595/m²). With an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€84k) the effective price is ≈€795/m² versus the local median of €410/m², so this is priced well above typical regional comparables; listing shows many photos but gives no clear condition details and is 68 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, well-maintained 1970s bifamiliare with immaculate lawns, mature trees and a covered terrace framing wide hilltop views — very liveable as photographed. Interiors are tidy and move-in ready though dated in style, so it’s an easy-to-love home that may benefit from cosmetic modernisation.
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€28,000 – €47,000
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 well kept but stylistically dated — kitchen and some finishes will likely need updating.
- Only three bathrooms for a very large house; consider renovation if you need more modern amenities.
- Large plot and villa mean higher ongoing maintenance and heating costs; energy class not specified.
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
Location score 58/100This is Apennine foothill country on the edge of the Reggiano hills, with wooded ridges, small valleys and mixed farmland. The Secchia valley lies nearby, and the first higher ridges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines are to the south. Within about 15 km the main reference town is Castellarano, with everyday services and an old centre; Sassuolo is just beyond that and is the larger urban centre for shopping and work. The area is known for hill agriculture and for its link to the ceramic district of Sassuolo and Scandiano in the wider zone.
