At €45,000 (€441/m²), the 102 m² apartment is attractively priced upfront, but it is completely to be renovated; estimated total costs reach about €157,000, or €1,541/m². This is well above the local reference level of €649/m², although the historic-center location adds some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious historic-center apartment with attractive terrazzo floors, traditional doors, and a fireplace that give it some Italian character. However, the property is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home: the rooms are bare and dirty, finishes are deteriorated, and the bathroom and courtyard need significant work.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €60,000
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.
- Completely in need of renovation, including peeling finishes, neglected bathroom, and likely electrical/plumbing updates.
- The overgrown rear courtyard/lightwell appears neglected and may require substantial clearing and waterproofing work.
- No attractive views or private garden are shown; heating and utility functionality are not confirmed.
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.
