At €42,000 (€420/m²), this townhouse is already above comparable local pricing, and allowing roughly €20,000 for the maintenance mentioned brings the effective cost to about €620/m². It is described as habitable but not turnkey, with no particular location premium to offset the price.
More on the house and the area
A solid, pleasantly maintained townhouse with balconies, attractive wrought-iron details, exposed timber eaves, functioning heating, and a warm fireplace. The interiors are clean and fully floored with a usable bathroom, but the finishes are dated and the home feels more practical than characterful; its strongest appeal is the 100 sqm size at a very low price.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Habitable but clearly dated, with cosmetic and maintenance work likely needed.
- The kitchen appears unfitted or is not shown in the gallery.
- No notable view, private garden, or distinctive historic setting is evident.
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.
