Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €846/m² before works, this is already about 26% above the local €673/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² because the condition is not stated brings the effective cost near €1,046/m². Central location, balconies, garage, cellar and an existing rental income support the price, but it is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A bright, clean, fully usable apartment with a fitted kitchen, renovated-looking bathroom, attractive marble flooring, balcony access, and heating. The €55,000 price including cellar and garage is compelling, but the home is visually ordinary and located in a standard urban building with no proven scenic view or special character.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Currently rented, so immediate owner-occupancy may not be possible.
- The apartment is practical and well presented but lacks a notable view, garden, historic character, or distinctive setting.
- Shared garage area and apartment-building exterior are functional rather than attractive.
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.
