Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€421/m²), the asking price is close to comparable local levels, but the vague “to personalize” condition suggests roughly €74,900 in renovation for 107 m², bringing the effective cost to about €1,121/m². The listing does not state the building condition, construction year, or energy performance, so the project carries meaningful uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial 107 m² home with working-looking kitchen, two bathrooms, balconies, and usable living spaces rather than a renovation shell. It has pleasant greenery and outdoor space from the balconies, but the architecture and interiors are ordinary and strongly dated, so the appeal is mainly the low price and livability rather than a dramatic Italian dream setting.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €37,000
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 furnishings; likely needs cosmetic modernization.
- Urban townhouse with narrow balconies and no private garden or distinctive historic features.
- Two-level layout with internal stairs may be inconvenient for reduced mobility; verify systems, roof, and legal documentation.
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.
