In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €16,200 plus an estimated €25,000 renovation allowance, the effective cost is about €330/m² versus a €345/m² local benchmark—only a modest discount. The listing says it is habitable with independent heating and a kitchen, but does not state a bathroom or provide much detail, so the low headline price is not enough to make it an exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive, roofed townhouse with a pleasant flower-lined balcony and a reasonably maintained exterior. It appears potentially usable rather than a ruin, but the lack of interior evidence and the zero-bathroom fact make livability uncertain; the home has limited architectural or scenic wow.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- The listing states zero bathrooms; confirm the actual bathroom, kitchen, utilities, and compliance.
- The exterior is functional but modest, with shared-looking access and no private garden or proven view.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its local context.
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.
