In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€900/m²), the apartment is priced about 34% above the local €671/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €20,000 for habitable-condition work. Garage, heating and furnishings add practicality, but the effective cost is around €1,100/m², making this a fair rather than discounted deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Italian home with a very pleasant private garden, covered terrace, garage, two bathrooms, and a welcoming traditional facade. The interiors are exceptionally complete and maintained, with fitted kitchens, heating, furnishings, and solid finishes, but the decor is dated and the property lacks a dramatic view or standout historic detail.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 kitchen are fully usable but distinctly dated in style.
- No notable landscape view is visible; the setting appears to be a closely built village neighborhood.
- The exterior shows some aging plaster and shutters, though the roof and house appear sound.
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.
