Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€432/m²), the asking price is already above comparable Piemonte country-house levels; allowing roughly €700/m² for likely updating brings the effective cost to about €113,400, or €700/m². The listing offers generous space, a double garage and a central location, but it does not say the overall condition, while energy class F suggests modernization may be needed.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable three-level terraced home with multiple bedrooms, three bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, fireplaces, heating, and generous living space. The interiors are lived-in and characterful rather than luxurious, with attractive arches, a stone fireplace, traditional terrazzo floors, and a very strong €70,000 space-for-money proposition. It lacks a scenic view or private garden, and the exterior needs cosmetic attention, but it is clearly a real home rather than a renovation shell.
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€32,000 – €57,000
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.
- The exterior frontage has visibly peeling render and a worn lower facade.
- Some bathrooms and finishes are dated and would benefit from refreshing.
- The home is in a central attached-town setting, with no visible private garden or countryside view.
- Verify the condition of the roof, systems, and the cracked-looking rear courtyard paving.
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.
