Property is sold 'a rustico' (shell) but labelled Renovated — finishing likely ~€700/m², so effective price ≈€332k (≈€960/m²) vs regional median ≈€365/m², making it overpriced given the needed works.
More on the house and the area
A large, roofed two‑storey semi‑detached villa in a private agricultural setting — structurally intact but offered as an unfinished shell. It’s a real bargain for the size (two 173 m² units) but will need complete internal fit‑out to become a livable, characterful 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€69,000 – €121,000
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.
- Property is sold "a rustico" (unfinished shell) — windows/doors and interior fittings are missing.
- Requires full interior finishing: bathrooms, kitchen, electrical, plumbing and likely flooring.
- Flat, agricultural/rural setting with limited scenic views or historic charm.
- No interior photos provided to confirm condition of floors/roof structure.
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.
