At €25,035 (338€/m²) for 74 m² I assume basic works (~€200/m²), giving an effective ≈€539/m² vs the regional median of €407/m². The listing only mentions autonomous heating and provides no condition or bathroom details (5 photos), so key data are missing and the room/bath counts look contradictory.
More on the house and the area
Mostly modern, bright interiors (new floors, large windows, contemporary bathroom and radiator heating) that feel move‑in ready and very cheap for 74 m². However one photo shows a derelict/period room, so confirm whether part of the townhouse needs restoration before committing.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Photos look inconsistent — most images show a modern, renovated apartment but one photo shows a neglected/antique room; confirm which spaces are included.
- No scenic sea/lake/mountain view or private outdoor space visible; this is an urban apartment in a block.
- Verify utilities, legal/condominium status and whether the advertised price covers the fully renovated rooms shown.
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.
