What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 180 m², the building is fully to be renovated, bringing estimated all-in costs to about €287,000 or €1,594/m². That is far above the local €352/m² reference, and the conversion into two apartments still requires technical verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious terracielo building with a sunny courtyard, garden, multiple terraces and some attractive original details such as terrazzo floors and wooden doors. However, the listing explicitly says it requires complete renovation, so it should be treated as a substantial project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €105,000
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 listing describes the entire 180 sqm building as completely to renovate, despite some photos showing polished or digitally staged interiors.
- Visible issues include peeling plaster, exposed or unfinished areas, aging railings and a partially improvised outbuilding.
- The property has a courtyard, small garden and terraces, but no proven scenic view or standout Italian landscape setting.
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.
