At €70,000 (€432/m²), the house is habitable but its estimated effective cost including €200/m² upkeep is about €632/m², well above the €345/m² local comparison level. The garage, balcony, terrace, heating and 26 photos add value, but not enough to offset the premium.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely habitable 162 sqm townhouse with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garage, balcony and terrace. Its arches, shutters, fireplace and traditional terrazzo floors add Italian character, while the interiors are comfortable but dated and the setting is urban rather than scenic.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 notable landscape or town-rooftop view is shown.
- The exterior has peeling plaster and weathered lower façades.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with some bathrooms and finishes likely needing refreshment.
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.
