At €38,670 for 204 m², the habitable home has an estimated all-in cost of about €79,470, or €390/m² after renovation allowance—slightly below the local €407/m² benchmark. The listing includes heating, cellar, fireplace and balcony, but does not state the number of bathrooms; its inland location 25 km from the sea limits the location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clearly usable 204 m² townhouse with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, multiple bedrooms, balcony, cellar, heating, and a fireplace. It is practical rather than visually striking, with dated furnishings and no proven special view or historic features, but the size and €38,670 price create a strong value 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€14,000 – €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.
- Pre-auction listing; legal and occupancy status require careful verification.
- The photos are low-quality and interiors look dated, so actual condition is uncertain.
- No clear scenic view, private garden, or distinctive historic character is shown.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite a bathroom photo, which should be clarified.
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.
