See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing price €29,000 for 65 m² but estimated renovation ~€700/m² (roof new but energy class G) yields an effective cost of about €74,500 or ~€1,146/m², well above the local baseline of €290/m². The ad gives no condition details and only 2 photos, so expected renovation scope is uncertain and the effective price looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Pretty stone farmhouse with a recently replaced roof and attractive rustic character; the exterior and fragments of painted plaster are very appealing. Inside it’s a raw, cluttered shell needing substantial finishing work, so this is a bargain project for someone ready to renovate rather than a move‑in 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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Interior is a rough, partly stripped shell with building materials and likely missing/unfinished floors
- Requires full internal renovation (kitchen, bathroom, electrics/plumbing) despite a new roof
- Small external area only; check utilities and structural details before purchase
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 68/100The Ligurian Apennines are the immediate landscape here, with wooded valleys and higher ridges around Monte Ragola and the upper Nure basin. The Nure river runs through Ferriere and there are small mountain hamlets, passes and open ridge roads within the area. This is part of the Piacentine Apennines, an upland zone used for walking, summer stays and mushroom gathering. The nearest town of size is Piacenza, which provides the main rail station, services and urban amenities, but it is well outside the local mountain setting. The area is known in Emilia for cooler summer mountain country rather than for a single landmark site.
