What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €82,000 for 85 m², this appears broadly livable, but allowing about €200/m² for unspecified upkeep puts the effective cost near €1,165/m² versus roughly €420/m² for comparable lower-priced homes in Lombardia. Central location, garage, included furnishings and decent fittings help, but the listing does not say the condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A solid, move-in-ready 85 sqm home with a fitted kitchen, functional bathroom, air conditioning, terrace, and private garage. The exposed timber ceiling in the bedroom adds warmth, but the overall property is an ordinary town-courtyard house rather than a visually memorable Italian dream home.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Urban courtyard setting with little visible privacy or outdoor space beyond the narrow terrace.
- Interiors are usable and maintained but fairly ordinary, cluttered, and lacking a strong view or distinctive historic character.
- The listing does not show a second bathroom or substantial garden/land.
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
