In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €22,200 plus an estimated €16,600 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €467/m²—roughly 39% below the local comparison level of €767/m². The 29 photos and autonomous heating support the value, though the listing gives little detail beyond habitability.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive, apparently habitable 83 m² apartment with autonomous heating, making it a practical bargain rather than a dream-home visual. The building and surroundings are ordinary modern urban housing, with no distinctive historic character, interior appeal, or memorable views shown.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- The listing data shows 0 bathrooms, which should be clarified.
- Dense, traffic-oriented urban setting with no visible private garden, terrace, or special view.
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.
