At €100,000 (€690/m²), this three-level house is well above the local €408/m² benchmark even after allowing for its stated habitable condition. Its central location, terrace, independent entrances and 45 photos add appeal, but the G energy class and likely upgrade costs reduce the value proposition.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, independent three-level house with a usable rooftop terrace, working kitchens, solid floors, and attractive older terrazzo and wood-ceiling details. It appears genuinely habitable rather than a renovation shell, but the furnishings and finishes are dated and the urban setting is practical rather than dreamlike.
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€10,000 – €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 dated and may need cosmetic updating.
- Three-level layout with internal stairs may be inconvenient for some buyers.
- Energy class G implies potentially higher heating costs.
- No notable scenic view or private garden 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.
