The €95,000 asking price equals €679/m²; allowing about €28,000 for habitable-condition updates gives an effective cost near €879/m², more than double the €418/m² local benchmark. The fireplace, garage, heating and two bathrooms add practical value, but the price leaves little room for a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable Mantuan townhouse with 140 sqm, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, heating, garage, and fireplace character. The warm woodwork, traditional tiled floors, furnishings, and fireplaces give it an authentic lived-in feel, but the interiors are dated and visually crowded rather than exceptional.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 clearly habitable but substantially dated, with older bathrooms, kitchen finishes, and furnishings.
- No exterior, garden, street setting, or views are shown, so the house’s curb appeal and surroundings cannot be assessed.
- The many stairs and two-floor layout may be less convenient for anyone seeking single-level living.
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.
