At €32,250 (€547/m²), this habitable 59 m² apartment has an estimated effective cost of about €44,050, or €747/m² after light works—slightly below the local €767/m² benchmark. Independent heating, cellar and strong security features support the price, though the location has no notable coastal or tourist premium.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a functional, modest apartment with balconies, heating, and a cellar, but the photos show little beauty or character. It may be usable as-is, though the lack of bathroom imagery and the sparse, cluttered interior make its true condition harder to judge.
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.
- No bathroom is shown, and the listing records zero bathrooms despite calling the apartment habitable.
- The visible interior is very limited and appears cluttered or dated.
- This is a standard apartment in a dense urban residential setting, with no distinctive view, garden, or historic character visible.
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.
