At €204/m², the asking price is very low, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable 390 m² townhouse brings the effective cost to about €404/m²—almost exactly the local comparison level. Heating, a garage and furnished interiors support the case, though the large floor area limits the discount after renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely large, habitable townhouse with a working kitchen, heating, garage, multiple rooms, and an unusually low apparent price for nearly 390 sqm. It is practical rather than beautiful: the exterior is worn and the interiors are basic and heavily cluttered, with no proven view or distinctive historic 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€26,000 – €44,000
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 very cluttered and dated, so substantial decluttering and cosmetic updating would be needed.
- Exterior walls show damp staining and patching; maintenance should be checked carefully.
- The listing facts report zero bathrooms despite visible bathroom facilities, so the property details need verification.
- No attractive landscape, historic features, or notable 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.
