Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€625/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €825/m² after allowing €200/m² for a house whose condition is not stated, notably above the local €403/m² benchmark. The central location near services and only 2 km from the sea are positives, but energy class G and the unspecified condition limit the deal's appeal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable two-level home with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, balconies and solid-looking stairs—not a renovation shell. Its appeal is mainly the very low €50,000 price and convenient central location near the sea, while the dated finishes and ordinary urban surroundings limit the dream-home impact.
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€5,000 – €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.
- Interiors and bathroom are very dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The property is in a dense town setting; the advertised garden/terrace is not clearly shown in the gallery.
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.
