What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€792/m²), allowing roughly €700/m² for the stated partial renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,492/m² versus €405/m² for comparable local stock. The historic-center location, garage and terrace add value, but the listing does not state the building year or provide a precise renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
A solid, fully usable historic-center home with a fitted kitchen, multiple bathrooms, marble staircases, tiled floors, and attractive vaulted passageways. It has genuine old-town character, but the interiors are mostly practical rather than spectacular, and there is no garden or standout view shown.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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 home is spread over multiple levels with several narrow staircases, which may be impractical for some buyers.
- The photos show little outdoor space and no meaningful view.
- The bathrooms and some finishes appear functional but dated rather than newly renovated.
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.
