The ad is for a “deposito” (storage) which is likely not legally habitable and may not be convertible to a residence. Price €45,000 (≈€321/m²) is below the regional median €409/m², but the storage classification is a veto; estimated conversion/renovation cost ~€1,100/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed two‑storey building with its own gated yard — a practical blank canvas close to town. The shell is structurally intact but largely unfinished inside, so expect conversion work to create comfortable living areas.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Currently used as a deposito/storage: upper floor is a raw concrete slab and will need finishing to become living space.
- No visible fitted kitchen and limited bathroom provisions — plumbing/electrics will need upgrades for residential use.
- Urban/town setting with a small paved courtyard/garden only; no notable views or historic features.
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.
