See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €99,000 asking price is €728/m², but the house explicitly needs renovation; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €1,428/m² versus a local reference of €667/m². Independent access, parking, terrace and 36 photos are positives, but the renovation burden makes this only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, roofed townhouse with usable floors, heating, a functioning bathroom, traditional woodwork, terrazzo floors, and a fireplace-like focal point. However, much of the property feels dated and partly service/storage-oriented, with visible damp and significant cosmetic and systems work needed before it becomes a beautiful full-time 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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed, especially in the damp, utilitarian lower-level rooms.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the kitchen appears basic and dated.
- Energy class G; roof, wiring, plumbing, and heating performance should be verified.
- No compelling landscape view is visible in the gallery, despite the attractive Lunigiana setting.
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.
