In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€517/m²), this habitable 172 m² townhouse is priced above the local €413/m² benchmark; allowing about €200/m² for updates puts the effective cost near €717/m². The garage and balcony add appeal, but the premium is not compelling for a buyer seeking value.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly spacious, fully furnished Sicilian townhouse with elegant high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, traditional terrazzo floors, balconies, and a garage. It looks genuinely livable rather than a renovation shell, although the kitchen, bathroom, fixtures, and overall styling are dated. At 172 m² for €89,000, the size and period character create strong value appeal.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- The home is habitable but visibly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- No garden or meaningful scenic view is shown; this is a dense town setting.
- The condition of the roof, wiring, plumbing, and heating system is not established by the photos.
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.
