In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The house is immediately habitable, but its estimated effective cost is about €900/m² after modest upkeep, versus roughly €419/m² for comparable homes in the area. Garage, heating and two bathrooms add practical value, but not enough to justify the substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately usable two-storey townhouse with attractive old details including a brick arch, exposed beams, traditional shutters and wooden stairs. The interiors are functional and fully equipped, but dated, while the worn exterior and lack of private outdoor space limit the dream-home appeal.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but quite dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The facade and attached outbuilding show weathering and maintenance needs.
- Outdoor space appears to be a shared courtyard rather than a private garden.
- No notable landscape or townscape view is 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.
