At €95,000 (€297/m²), the 320 m² palazzo is already well above the local €189/m² benchmark; adding an estimated €64,000 for habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to about €497/m². The brief description and lack of bedroom, construction-year, and energy details make the premium difficult to justify.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, very spacious Italian house with working kitchens, bathrooms, heating, multiple bedrooms, balconies, a garage, and a small planted garden. Its charm is practical rather than spectacular: the interiors are bright and well-kept but dated, while the suburban setting offers no major historic character or dramatic view. At €95,000 for 320 sqm, the amount of usable space is the main appeal.
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€21,000 – €36,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but strongly dated, with several rooms needing cosmetic updating.
- The lower exterior facade shows peeling or deteriorated finish.
- At 320 sqm, ongoing heating and maintenance costs could be substantial; energy performance is not provided.
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.
