In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€1,187/m²), plus an estimated €15,000 for habitable-condition updates, the effective cost is about €1,387/m²—well above the €664/m² local benchmark. The apartment is credible and well documented, with 29 photos, a garage, cellar, and energy class D, but the price leaves limited value upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, furnished, genuinely habitable apartment with a practical kitchen, comfortable living room, two bedrooms, garage, and cellar. It looks ready to live in, but the appeal is mainly functional rather than dreamlike: there is no standout view, garden, historic character, or exceptional interior design.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 ordinary interior spaces, with no exterior, balcony, or view demonstrated.
- Decor and kitchen cabinetry are dated, even though the apartment appears well maintained.
- The photos do not verify the condition of the bathroom, bedrooms, building common areas, or garage.
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.
