At €49,000 (€377/m²), this habitable 130 m² apartment is attractively priced upfront, with garage, cellar, heating, balcony and fireplace. Allowing roughly €26,000 for light updating brings the effective cost to about €577/m², close to the local €547/m² benchmark, making it a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, spacious home with a large outdoor terrace overlooking lush wooded hills, plus a fireplace, garage, balcony and independent heating. The interiors are dated and heavily furnished rather than stylish, but the house is ready to live in with mostly cosmetic updating; at €49,000, the size and setting create strong bargain appeal.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but quite dated in style.
- The terrace and balcony show weathering and would benefit from cleaning and maintenance.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 130 sqm, two-bedroom home.
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.
