See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €529/m², the asking price is close to comparable low-cost homes, and the 4 km distance from the sea is a positive. However, the apartment needs renovation, has energy class G and no heating; after an estimated €59,500 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,229/m², making this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, complete 85 m² apartment with finished floors, functioning-looking bathrooms, a kitchen, multiple rooms, and no obvious structural ruin. However, it is visually plain and strongly dated, with worn finishes, basic fittings, and no distinctive historic character or view shown.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors with extensive cosmetic updating needed.
- Kitchen is very basic and the apartment appears to lack heating.
- The advertised panoramic view and balcony appeal are not shown in the photos; energy class G.
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.
