Habitable, heated and furnished townhouse at €96,000; assuming €200/m² renovation yields an effective price of €124,400 (≈€876/m²) versus the regional median €418/m², so this is substantially above local market. The listing omits energy class and building year, reducing confidence.
More on the house and the area
Bright, contemporary and very spacious interiors (high ceilings, skylights, high‑end kitchen and stylish bathroom) that look move‑in ready. The building exterior and courtyard are plain, so this is an interior win in a regular urban block — excellent value but check bathrooms, outdoor space and attic practicality.
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 – €16,000
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.
- Exterior faces an ordinary inner courtyard — no scenic views shown.
- No private garden or terrace visible in photos.
- Listing data lists 0 bathrooms — verify actual bathroom count.
- Top-floor/attic-style rooms with skylights: check headroom, insulation and access.
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.
