What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €332/m² the price is roughly half the local median of €650/m² (n=5218, solid baseline), giving a strong discount. It's a habitable-class apartment (bilocale) needing full renovation, with autonomous heating and a balcony. Building from 1960, 60m², fresh listing (0 days). Estimated reno ~€500/m² (full gut). Even post-reno (~€20k renovation + €20k purchase = ~€40k, ~€667/m²) it sits near market value, so upside is modest but the entry price is genuinely attractive for rental/investment. Missing energy class and sea distance are minor. No serious red flags.
More on the house and the area
The standout feature is the vaulted ceilings paired with original hexagonal cement-tile flooring, visible throughout the interior shots. These barrel and groin vaults give the modest bilocale genuine historic character. Renders show strong renovation potential, transforming grim, cluttered rooms into airy, characterful living spaces. At EUR19,900 (EUR332/m2), the bargain effect is notable. However, the current state is rough: peeling plaster, damp stains, wall holes, and debris. The exterior is a pleasant but ordinary Piedmont courtyard building. No view, no unusual location, no stunning finishes as-is. Charm rests on the vaults and tiles plus the low price, not on move-in appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
