See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €923/m², the €60,000 asking price is already above the local €773/m² benchmark; allowing about €13,000 for light finishing brings the effective cost near €1,123/m². The central position, private 200 m² garden and included change from C/1 to residential use add value, but the property is not yet a legal dwelling and its condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, solid small home with a rare private garden of about 200 m², attractive old shutters and a pleasant central-town setting. However, the real photos show a basic, empty property needing cleaning, kitchen work and cosmetic renovation; the polished furnished images significantly overstate its current beauty.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 real garden photos show heavy overgrowth and substantial clearing/maintenance is needed.
- The kitchen area needs fitting or renovation, and some rooms show damp/staining and dated finishes.
- The property is currently registered as C/1; the residential-use change is promised as included, but documentation should be verified.
- Several attractive furnished garden and interior images are explicitly AI-generated and are not contractual.
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.
