In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 180 m² (€361/m²), the asking price looks attractive, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €561/m², above the local comparison level of €412/m². The garage, heating, balcony, attic and three bathrooms add useful value, though the inland location limits the premium.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly substantial 180 sqm townhouse with working kitchen, bathroom, heating, tiled floors, balconies, garage, and a lovely hill-and-rooftop view from the upper level. The ornate dark-wood furnishings, old stone stairway, colorful facades, and village setting provide genuine Italian character, although the home feels more traditional and dated than beautifully restored. At €65,000, the size and apparent livability make it a compelling bargain.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but quite dated, with substantial dark built-in furniture and older finishes.
- The townhouse is tightly packed in a narrow urban street, with no private garden or outdoor space beyond balconies.
- Roof, utilities, insulation, and legal/energy documentation should be verified despite the stated habitable condition.
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.
