At €782/m², this townhouse is about 74% above the local €449/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €20,000 for likely updates. The description presents a complete home with garage and heating, but does not state its actual condition, so the price is difficult to justify as a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in townhouse with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, garage, and comfortable bedroom/living spaces. Exposed wooden beams add modest historic character, but the property is visually ordinary, with worn exterior surfaces, dated finishes, and no notable view.
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.
- The home is clearly usable, but finishes and bathroom are dated and the exterior shows weathering and damp-related staining.
- The courtyard/outbuilding area looks utilitarian rather than like a polished private garden.
- No scenic view or standout location is shown; verify the condition of the roof, outbuildings, and systems.
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.
The area around
Location score 34/100This is the eastern Bolognese plain in the lower Po Valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered hamlets. The Reno valley and the first Apennine relief are well beyond the immediate area, so within about 15 km the landscape is predominantly reclaimed plain rather than hill country. Bologna is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access, but it does not change the character of the immediate surroundings. The area is known mainly for arable farming and the network of waterways typical of the plain between Bologna and Ferrara.
