At €60,000 (€545/m²), this 110 m² apartment is attractively priced against the €664/m² local benchmark, with good finishes, three balconies, cellar and low condominium costs. Allowing about €200/m² for updating brings the effective cost near €745/m², making it a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, genuinely move-in-ready apartment with three bedrooms, a usable kitchen, tiled floors, balconies, and a fireplace. It is comfortable and characterful rather than spectacular, with an ordinary town setting and no standout view; the €60,000 price for 110 sqm is the main dreamer appeal.
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 – €12,000
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.
- Urban apartment setting with street-facing views and no garden or notable landscape outlook.
- Only one bathroom for a 110 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- Traditional furnishings and finishes may need cosmetic updating to feel more contemporary.
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.
