This is an auction listing (’asta’) and includes a collabente rustico used as a storage/deposit, creating legal and usability risks. With an estimated €700/m² renovation the effective price is about €860/m² (total ≈ €288,750), well above the regional baseline of €407/m², and the ad even states the photos are indicative/not real.
More on the house and the area
The interiors and the elegant historic façade shown are very photogenic and give the place real character, and the low price is an obvious bargain. However the legal description notes a main dwelling needing renovation plus a collapsed outbuilding, so this is a charming project rather than a move‑in ready dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€67,000 – €118,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property is listed as 'needs renovation' and the listing mentions a separate 'fabbricato collabente' (collapsed/degrading outbuilding).
- Advert photos are stated as indicative and may not represent the actual current condition of the buildings.
- Likely requires structural/utility works and finishing before being fully habitable.
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.
