Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €87,000 for 65 m², renovation at about €700/m² brings the estimated all-in cost to €132,500, or roughly €2,038/m² versus a local median of €618/m². The ground-floor location, 20 m² terrace and covered parking help, but the required renovation and energy class G make this materially overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A practical, bright ground-floor apartment with a genuinely attractive private 20 sqm terrace, mature planting, and a pleasant covered entrance. The interiors are solid and clearly usable, with a kitchen, bathroom, heating, and finished floors, but the dated finishes and energy class G keep it in the charming-but-not-dream-home range.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Needs renovation and modernization, especially the dated kitchen and bathroom.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The covered parking space is reportedly suitable mainly for a small car, motorcycle, or bicycles.
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.
