What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 (€769/m²), this 130 m² townhouse is about 31% above the local €588/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for its unstated condition brings the effective cost to about €969/m². The listing describes a spacious home with garage and terrace, but it does not say whether the property is renovated or move-in ready.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
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 32/100The site sits on the Po Plain (Pianura Padana): flat, intensively farmed arable land with a regular field pattern and a network of irrigation and drainage canals. No mountains or natural lakes are within about 15 km; the Apennines lie well to the south and the River Po is farther to the north. Nearby towns of size include Finale Emilia (municipality of roughly 15,000) and Mirandola (roughly 17,000), which provide shops, secondary schools and local services. The provincial capital Modena, with major services and the UNESCO-listed cathedral and piazza, is the nearest large city at roughly 15–20 km and is the regional centre for higher-level services and industry. The area is part of the Modena food-production hinterland (dairy, cured meats and related supply chains). The municipality and surrounding towns were among those affected by the 2012 Emilia earthquakes.
