At €379/m², the €55,000 asking price looks cheap, but this is an attic to be converted into a dwelling only after urban-planning and habitability checks. Allowing roughly €1,100/m² for conversion, roof works and skylights brings the estimated total to about €1,479/m² versus €769/m² for comparable apartments, with the listing silent on current legal habitability.
More on the house and the area
The historic street facade and expansive exposed timber roof give this property genuine architectural character and strong loft-conversion potential. However, the interior is a raw 145 m² attic/storage space with unfinished concrete floors and no established living accommodation, so it is a substantial redevelopment project rather than a home you could realistically move into.
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€57,000 – €85,000
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.
- This is an unfinished attic shell, not a livable home: no finished rooms, kitchen, or usable bathroom are shown.
- The roof structure appears very old and may require major repair, insulation, and waterproofing.
- Habitability and conversion depend on urban-planning approval, minimum-height rules, utilities, and permits.
- Located on a busy urban street, with no private outdoor space or views shown.
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.
