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 €40,000 for 177 m², the purchase price is attractively low, but allowing roughly €35,400 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to about €426/m²—close to comparable homes in the area. Garage, courtyard, cellar, heating and 32 photos support a credible, usable property, though the deal is solid rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 177 sqm townhouse with a finished, well-kept interior, fitted kitchen, heating, garage, cellar, balcony, and a pleasant paved courtyard with hedges. It lacks the dramatic views, historic character, or exceptional architecture that create a true dream-home effect, but €40,000 makes it a compelling space-for-money opportunity.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 house is clearly habitable but dated, with tired exterior finishes and some damp-looking areas.
- The setting is practical and semi-rural rather than scenic, with utility wires and nearby agricultural/industrial views.
- Bathroom count and the condition of the roof and systems should be verified despite the habitable listing.
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.
