Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €548/m², the asking price is about 30% above comparable sub-€100k homes in the area, despite the listing describing an older house with energy class G and basic stove heating. It is presented as habitable and renovated, but the stated 100 m² conflicts with the advertised 124 m², so the value needs careful verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished two-level home with a usable kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, garden, garage, and generous ancillary buildings. It is clearly livable rather than a shell, but the presentation is ordinary and heavily dated, with no exceptional views or distinctive historic character to create a strong dream-home effect.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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 – €7,000
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 and finishes are very dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Heating relies largely on gas and electric stoves rather than a conventional central system.
- The rear outbuildings are utilitarian and appear rough, requiring maintenance.
- The description mentions a shared courtyard, so outdoor privacy may be limited.
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.
