What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,188/m², the asking price is about 29% above comparable local homes; allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property raises the effective cost to about €1,388/m², well above that level. The garage, balcony, heating and 15 photos support livability, but the price is not compelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, genuinely habitable apartment with two bedrooms, a usable kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, garage and a sunny balcony. Its generous rooms and polished woodwork give it a settled Italian-home feel, but the interiors are quite dated and the property lacks a striking view, garden or memorable architectural character.
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 – €9,000
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.
- Dated early-2000s finishes, kitchen, bathroom and furnishings may need refreshing.
- First-floor apartment has no elevator.
- Energy class F suggests higher running costs.
- No notable view, garden or distinctive historic architecture 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.
