Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€900/m²), this compact ground-floor apartment is priced above the local reference of €773/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified updates puts the effective cost near €1,100/m². It has two bedrooms, autonomous systems, good road access and convenient services, but the listing does not state its condition beyond energy class G.
More on the house and the area
This is a complete, apparently usable small apartment with two bedrooms, autonomous systems, a private-looking outdoor area, and a very accessible €45,000 price. However, the property is visually ordinary, with dated wood paneling, flooring, fixtures, and exteriors, and there is no compelling view or distinctive historic character.
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 – €5,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and bathroom fixtures will likely need modernization.
- No attractive landscape or panoramic view is visible.
- Energy class G suggests high running costs and limited efficiency.
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.
The area around
Location score 72/100The area sits in the Modenese Apennines, with wooded ridges and mid-mountain farmland around Monte Cimone to the southwest. The Panaro valley is nearby, and the Regional Park of the Sassi di Roccamalatina lies within this area, with sandstone spires and forested slopes. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Cimone around Sestola, roughly 35–45 minutes by road. The nearest larger town is Vignola, with everyday services, and Modena is the main city for higher-level services and rail connections. The area is known for chestnuts, mountain villages, and for the Sassi di Roccamalatina rock formations.
