What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€529/m²), the apartment appears cheap upfront, but it is entirely to renovate, bringing the estimated all-in cost to about €138,500 or €1,629/m²—far above the local €600/m² reference. The central location and terrace help, but the renovation scope, added second bathroom, first-floor position without a lift, and energy class G weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, central 85 m² apartment with bright rooms, balconies, and attractive vintage furnishings, but the building and surroundings are ordinary. The dated bathroom, old finishes, and stated need for full renovation mean it is a renovation opportunity rather than a ready-made dream home.
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€34,000 – €50,000
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.
- The listing says the apartment is entirely to be renovated, despite photos showing furnished rooms.
- No scenic view, garden, or distinctive architectural character is visible.
- First-floor apartment in a basic urban building without an elevator; energy class G.
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.
