At €438/m², the asking price is close to the local €422/m² benchmark, but renovating 80 m² at roughly €700/m² adds about €56,000, bringing the estimated total to €91,000 (€1,138/m²). The garage, cellar and garden add value, although the listing does not say the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is an authentic Lombard courtyard townhouse with attractive old shutters, tiled roofs, historic walls, a private garden, and a useful ancillary building. However, the interior is essentially a renovation project with dated commercial-style finishes, exposed brick and wiring, and no clearly usable kitchen or bathroom shown. At €35,000 it offers strong customization potential, but it is not yet a dream-ready home.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Complete renovation appears necessary, including the stripped-out interiors and likely kitchen/bathroom systems.
- The property fronts directly onto a street and has no scenic view.
- The private garden and cassero add potential, but both are currently overgrown or in poor condition.
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.
