Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €818/m², the asking price is about 6% above the local €773/m² benchmark; including a modest €22,000 allowance for a generally good but energy-class G apartment, the effective cost is roughly €1,018/m². The garage, cellar, terrace and air conditioning add useful value, but the price is not a clear discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious and immediately usable apartment with two bedrooms, a working kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, garage and cellar. However, the appeal is practical rather than romantic: the decor and finishes are dated, and the photos show no distinctive view, outdoor space, or historic character. At €90,000 for 110 sqm plus parking, its strongest wow factor is value rather than 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€7,000 – €12,000
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 suggests potentially high heating costs.
- Interiors are functional but dated and heavily furnished, likely needing cosmetic updating.
- No notable view, garden, terrace, or historic character is shown; only one bathroom for 110 sqm.
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 53/100The area sits on the western edge of the Po plain, close to the lower Trebbia valley and the first hills of the Piacentine Apennines. The Trebbia river is the main natural feature nearby. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with a full set of services and a substantial historic centre. South of here, within the province, the landscape becomes vineyard and mixed-farming hill country around the Val Tidone and Val Trebbia, and the area is known for wine and cured meats typical of the Piacentino.
