What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingHabitableThe photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is €989/m² versus a local benchmark of €853/m², and the listing explicitly says the apartment is in its original state and needs renovation. Allowing about €700/m² for works puts the effective cost near €1,689/m²; the completed office-to-residential change of use is a useful positive, but does not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The proposed layout is spacious and practical, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, double exposure, and good natural light. However, the real property appears plain and dated rather than beautifully finished, and it needs meaningful renovation despite the completed change of use.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 attractive furnished images appear to be renovation renderings/staging, not the current condition.
- The apartment is in its original office state and requires a substantial renovation before move-in.
- No exterior, garden, notable view, or historic character 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.
