What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
With an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is €55,000 (≈€733/m²), well above the local median of €417/m², so this is expensive for the area. The property is habitable, has heating, balcony and a cellar and 19 photos, but the high effective €/m² drives the low score.
More on the house and the area
Liveable town-house in a historic village setting with a private garden and pleasant rooftops/church views; interiors are clean but plain and would benefit from updating. Good value for 75 m² with cellar and independent heating, though rooms and the bathroom are compact and the yard needs care.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Plain, dated interiors need cosmetic updating
- Small bathroom and compact rooms
- Outdoor garden/yard needs clearing and some maintenance
- Property is on multiple levels with stairs (limited accessibility)
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.
