At €1,418/m², this €78,000 apartment is about 2.6 times the local comparison level of €542/m², despite being only 55 m² and 12 km from the sea. It is described as ready to live in, but the listing does not state the building year, energy class, or exact ownership and legal details.
More on the house and the area
This is a polished, genuinely move-in-ready apartment with a particularly attractive fitted kitchen, clean tiled interiors, air conditioning, and a usable balcony. It feels like a real, comfortable home rather than a renovation project, but the dense neighboring buildings and lack of a special view limit the dream factor.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Dense urban surroundings with no scenic outlook.
- Small 55 sqm layout, despite the practical two-bedroom arrangement.
- The listing says it is currently owner-occupied, so availability and handover timing should be verified.
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.
