Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 plus an estimated €14,000 for light updating, the effective cost is about €1,614/m², more than double the €765/m² local benchmark. The apartment is in good condition and includes a garage, balcony and cellar, but Magenta offers no strong location premium to justify this price.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, well-kept apartment with a practical layout, two balconies, fitted kitchen, bathroom, and included garage and cellar. However, it is a conventional suburban flat with dated interiors, no notable historic character or views, and only modest outdoor appeal from the shared greenery.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely higher running costs.
- Dated kitchen, furnishings and bathroom finishes.
- First-floor apartment in a building without an elevator; exterior shows some wear.
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.
