At €28,000 (€737/m²), this compact 38 m² home is already priced above the local €600/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates puts the effective cost near €937/m². The description presents a solid independent home with a terrace and garage, but it does not specify the actual condition or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
This is a compact independent home with a usable bathroom, finished floors, and a potentially valuable rooftop terrace. However, the interiors are bare and dated, with clear moisture/ceiling problems and no visible kitchen, while the setting offers little visual charm beyond the sunny terrace.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Significant peeling plaster, damp staining, and damaged ceilings suggest meaningful refurbishment.
- No kitchen is visible, so the home may not be immediately move-in ready.
- The rooftop terrace is useful but exposed and surrounded by dense neighboring buildings, with no scenic view.
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.
