In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €63,750, the home is €817/m² upfront, but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to roughly €1,017/m² versus the local €857/m² benchmark. Heating and a kitchen are mentioned, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide energy and building details.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid-looking, well-maintained apartment building with mature greenery around it, but the exterior is conventional and offers no distinctive historic character or confirmed scenic view. The listing describes the 78 sqm apartment as habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, making it a realistic home rather than a renovation shell, but the lack of interior photography limits the wow factor.
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the stated habitable condition cannot be independently verified.
- Bathroom count is listed as zero/missing despite the apartment being described as habitable.
- The property is a conventional apartment in a suburban residential setting, with no confirmed private garden or notable view.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate surroundings.
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.
