At €834/m², the asking price is already about double the €407/m² local comparison level; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified condition makes the effective cost substantially worse. The listing gives almost no detail beyond a garage, and does not state the condition, bathrooms, year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A modest but appealing single-storey townhouse with a healthy tiled roof, enclosed porch, private paved courtyard, and a leafy rear garden. It looks like a real, usable home rather than a renovation shell, but the plain suburban setting and complete lack of interior evidence keep the wow factor moderate.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the kitchen, bathroom, layout, and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The house appears maintained, but roof, systems, insulation, and legal status are unconfirmed.
- Suburban setting with narrow access and no notable view or historic character.
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.
