In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,875 plus an estimated €31,000 for light renovation, the effective cost is about €464/m², roughly 14% below the local €542/m² benchmark. The home is described as habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has and provides limited detail.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive 155 sqm urban home with a usable tiled courtyard, shutters, and an attractive traditional iron staircase. However, the photos do not prove a beautiful interior or any meaningful view, and the exterior feels functional rather than characterful; it is more of a practical bargain than a dream Italian home.
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 – €17,000
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.
- The gallery shows only a worn shared-looking courtyard and access areas, not the interior rooms.
- The listing states habitable with kitchen and autonomous heating, but the recorded bathroom count is zero and should be verified.
- Visible plaster deterioration and dated finishes suggest cosmetic refurbishment, with possible maintenance issues around the courtyard and stairs.
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.
