See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000, the listed 76 m² costs €1,250/m² versus a local benchmark of €431/m²; allowing €200/m² for the remaining works raises the effective cost to about €1,450/m². The description is inconsistent, calling it fully renovated while stating works are only 90% complete with handover expected by the end of 2026, and it describes substantially more space than the stated 76 m².
More on the house and the area
The freshly renovated exterior has a pleasant appearance, a large panoramic terrace, private garden, and a visible mountain backdrop. However, the interior is still a construction site with unfinished floors, fittings, bathrooms, and kitchen, so this is a future home rather than a livable house today.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 interiors are clearly unfinished, with bare concrete floors, exposed electrical points, and no installed kitchen or bathroom fixtures.
- The listing says works are only about 90% complete, with turnkey delivery promised by the end of 2026.
- The panoramic terrace, garden, and mountain view are attractive, but the property is not currently move-in ready.
- The €95,000 price may leave substantial finishing and furnishing costs.
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.
