In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €900/m², the asking price is already above the local €664/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €20,000 for a habitable apartment puts the effective cost near €1,100/m². The central location, garage, parking space and balconies support the price, but this is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, fully usable apartment with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, two bedrooms, and ample living space. However, the interiors are strongly dated and ordinary, with no visible view, garden, historic features, or particularly memorable design; its appeal is practical rather than dream-home inspiring.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interior is habitable but visibly dated, with older finishes, wallpaper, fixtures, and furnishings.
- Second-floor apartment in a building without an elevator.
- No attractive view, outdoor setting, or distinctive architectural 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.
