100,000 EUR for 130 m² plus about 700 EUR/m² to finish (≈91,000 EUR) gives an effective price ≈1,470 EUR/m², well above the regional baseline of 425 EUR/m² — this appears overpriced despite 10 photos and a clear “stato grezzo da completare” description.
More on the house and the area
Solid, town‑centre palazzina (two ~65 m² apartments) with intact roof and communal staircase, but the interiors are raw and need finishing (floors, plaster, services). Practical and affordable as a renovation project, but not especially photogenic and without garden or a noteworthy view.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Interiors are ‘allo stato grezzo’ — concrete floors and plaster, with electrical and plumbing only roughed in
- Bathrooms and kitchen not finished; not move-in ready
- No private outdoor space shown
- Street-front location — possible traffic/noise from the road
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 58/100The cluster is in the lower Arno plain around the Padule di Fucecchio, a large inland marsh shared with nearby communes and protected as a nature reserve area. The Arno runs nearby, and the landscape within reach is mostly flat to gently undulating farmland with drainage canals, fields and scattered settlements. To the east and south the first Tuscan hills begin toward the Cerbaie woods and the Vinci side, but this is not a mountain setting. Empoli is the nearest larger town with rail connections, services and a substantial working town centre. The area is known for wetland birdlife in the Padule and for mixed agriculture on the plain.
