What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,688, the estimated all-in cost is about €71,288, or €335/m² for 213 m²—roughly 20% below the local €419/m² benchmark. The home is described as habitable with autonomous heating, a garage and attic; the listing does not state the number of bathrooms or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely large, furnished and apparently habitable townhouse with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating, garage and a generous green garden. At €28,688, the size and usable condition create a strong bargain angle, but the house is visually plain, with no proven panoramic view or distinctive historic character.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 exterior plaster and drainage details look tired and may need refreshing.
- The gallery shows a usable kitchen, bathroom, living room and heating, but the facts list zero bathrooms—verify the legal and cadastral details.
- This is a practical suburban/rural home rather than a scenic or historic Italian dream property.
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.
