Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€1,400/m²), this compact 35 m² apartment is priced well above the local sub-€100k benchmark of €766/m², even allowing for its garage, balcony, elevator and well-kept setting. The description suggests it is usable without major renovation, but the listing does not state its energy class, construction year or precise condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, finished small apartment with a usable bathroom, furnished kitchenette, balcony/terrace, elevator access, and a private garage. It appears move-in ready, but the bland interiors, limited space, and ordinary neighborhood outlook make it more of a sensible low-cost home than a dream Italian property.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very compact 35 sqm apartment, likely best suited to one person or a couple.
- The interior is clean and usable but basic, with no distinctive historic or design character.
- The balcony/terrace overlooks ordinary residential rooftops rather than a notable landscape.
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.
