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
At €429/m², the asking price is close to the local €419/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable home puts the effective cost near €629/m². The townhouse has useful features including a garage, cellar, heating and courtyard, though the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide an energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, generously sized townhouse with a warm rustic interior: exposed-style beams, brick fireplace wall, tiled floors, fitted kitchen, bedrooms, and finished bathrooms. The private courtyard and garden add real lifestyle value, while the €429/m² pricing is compelling, but the ordinary suburban setting keeps it below dream-home territory.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- The setting is a modest residential neighborhood with no scenic view.
- The listing is presented as an auction property, so legal and purchase-process checks are important.
- Bathroom count is listed as zero despite two bathrooms appearing in the photos; verify the official documentation.
- The courtyard and garden are usable but fairly basic rather than landscaped.
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.
