What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €881/m², the asking price is already above the local €765/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €13,400 for likely updating brings the effective cost to about €1,081/m². The apartment has a practical layout, services nearby and 19 photos, but the listing does not say whether it is move-in ready, and its G energy class may imply higher running costs.
More on the house and the area
A practical, clearly livable 67 m² apartment with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, study, balcony and pleasant greenery visible from the windows. It is bright and usable but visually ordinary, with dated finishes, no distinctive historic character, and no exceptional view or setting.
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.
- Dated interiors and kitchen would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs.
- Apartment is in a standard multi-storey building with shared/common areas rather than a characterful standalone home.
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.
