At €69,000 (€445/m²), this habitable 155 m² townhouse is already above the local €408/m² median; allowing about €200/m² for the stated works puts the effective cost near €645/m². The shared driveway and promised cadastral/urban-planning fixes add some purchase risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, livable 155 sqm home rather than a renovation shell, with a recently serviced roof, functioning kitchen and bathroom, attractive traditional shutters, and comfortable furnished interiors. Its strongest feature is the large, beautifully maintained garden with mature trees, landscaped paths, and a substantial detached warehouse, making the €69,000 price unusually compelling. The setting is pleasant but rural and road-adjacent rather than scenic or historic.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but dated, with only one bathroom for five bedrooms.
- Energy class G and gas convector heating may mean higher running costs.
- The driveway entrance is shared, and the detached 83 sqm warehouse/garden area is separate from the main house.
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.
