Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€335/m²), the asking price looks attractive against comparable local listings, but the property’s condition is not stated and the description emphasizes customization and future valorization. Allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation puts the effective cost near €1,035/m², well above the €420/m² local benchmark; the G energy rating adds further upgrade risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, generously sized Italian town house with functioning living spaces, two bedrooms, a bathroom, garage, and substantial attic/storage space. Its terrazzo floors, high ceilings, traditional furnishings, and €80,000 price create some old-fashioned charm, but the exterior is weathered and the house lacks a memorable view, garden, or standout historic character.
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€47,000 – €84,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and fixtures, with likely cosmetic modernization needed.
- The large mansarda and some accessory areas appear basic or unfinished rather than immediately ready for living.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 239 m² home.
- No garden, terrace, notable view, or strong architectural feature 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.
