What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation ~€70,000 (700 €/m2) makes the effective price €133,000 — about €1,330/m2 vs the regional median €365/m2, so this requires significant investment and is overpriced. The property has a large basement, a 30 m2 garage and 18 photos, but energy class G and the seller’s note that it "needs renovation" reduce its appeal.
More on the house and the area
Solid, single‑storey country villa with intact roof, a large cellar/garage, and a generous private garden with wide panoramic hill views — very photogenic outside. Interiors are dated but clearly lived‑in and usable, so this is a realistic, low‑cost home that will reward modest renovation and energy upgrades.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Needs cosmetic refurbishment and system/energy upgrades (bathroom, finishes, likely heating/electrics).
- Property sits very close to the roadside with a small front setback.
- Dated interiors and only one bathroom; verify usable condition of basement and services.
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.
