In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 97 m² townhouse at €69,000 (€711/m²) becomes roughly €911/m² after allowing €200/m² for normal updating, well above the local €439/m² benchmark. The garage, heating, accessibility and fiber improve usability, but the price is not a strong bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely habitable townhouse with an equipped kitchen, bathroom, heating, functioning utilities, and a sound tiled roof. Exposed timber beams, traditional wooden ceilings, an arched brick detail, and an attractive old door give it more character than the plain exterior suggests. It is livable now but feels practical rather than dreamlike, with dated interiors and limited outdoor space.
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 – €11,000
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.
- Cosmetic refresh is needed: worn walls, dated finishes, and some visible damp or staining.
- The narrow spiral staircase may be inconvenient, especially for accessibility despite the listed access provision.
- The property is in a built-up residential setting with no notable private garden or scenic 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.
