What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €89,000 (593 €/m2) with an estimated renovation of €200/m2 (~€30,000) gives an effective cost of ≈€119,000 or ≈€793/m2, well above the regional median of €350/m2. Property is habitable with many photos and a garage, but energy class F and an inland location reduce upside.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two‑storey family home with a private gravel courtyard, garage/rustic and large rooms. The layout is practical and move‑in ready, but the interiors and outbuildings are dated and would benefit from 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€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.
- Dated 1960s interiors — will need updating to modern tastes
- Only one bathroom for three bedrooms
- Outbuilding/garage roof and external areas show wear and may need repairs
- Energy class F — likely higher running costs
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.
