See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€432/m²), this 162 m² apartment is attractively priced, but it is explicitly in need of renovation; estimated total costs bring the effective price to about €1,132/m², above the local €773/m² benchmark. Its central historic-town location, 17 photos, autonomous heating and generous layout add appeal, but the renovation budget is substantial.
More on the house and the area
A generous historic apartment with attractive traditional furnishings, original details, a working fireplace, balcony/terrace space, and pleasant green hillside views. It appears structurally usable rather than a shell, but the dated kitchen and bathroom, visible moisture/finish issues, and general renovation needs keep it below dream-home territory.
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€32,000 – €57,000
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 apartment is explicitly sold needing renovation, with visibly dated kitchen and bathroom.
- Some walls and ceilings show staining, peeling, or cracks that should be investigated.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 162 sqm, four-bedroom apartment.
- Energy class G and renovation costs could materially increase the total budget.
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.
