See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 180 m², the property appears inexpensive initially, but the stated “da sistemare” condition implies roughly €700/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,144/m² versus a local reference of €769/m². The central location, independent layout, large terrace, attic and private courtyard add value, but the renovation burden makes this an ordinary-to-weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial historic courtyard home with appealing arched interiors, a large terrace, an exclusive courtyard, and an unusually generous 180 sqm for the price. It appears structurally roofed and genuinely usable, but the neglected finishes, damp marks, worn stairs, and very dated service areas make it a renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Clearly needs renovation, including peeling finishes, damp/mold signs, and a tired bathroom/kitchen.
- The 95 sqm attic and external stairs may need safety and habitability checks.
- The courtyard includes a right of passage for another unit; utilities and roof condition should be verified.
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.
