See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €64,000, the €533/m² asking price looks attractive, but the house needs renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1,233/m² versus roughly €571/m² for comparable local homes. The garden, garage and location 4 km from the sea add value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
A large, traditional two-level townhouse with a balcony, full tiled floors, an existing kitchen and bathroom, and unusually generous green garden space. It is a real house rather than an empty shell, but the dated interiors, deteriorated exterior, and visible cracks make this a renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- The house clearly needs substantial renovation, including plasterwork, finishes, and likely systems.
- Visible wall cracking and damp-related deterioration should be professionally assessed before purchase.
- The gardens are overgrown and will require significant clearing and maintenance.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100This is on the Romagna plain close to the Adriatic coast and the Canal Port of Cesenatico, the historic canal associated with Leonardo da Vinci, is the main local feature. The coast here is low and sandy, with beaches, pinewoods and the saline wetland area around Cervia within the wider 15 km zone. Rimini and Cesena are the nearest larger centres for services, rail links and hospitals. The area is known for seaside tourism, fishing and flat agricultural land behind the coast.
