Habitable 87 m² townhouse with garage, balcony and terrace has an estimated all-in cost of about €97,400, or €1,119/m² after light allowance for updates. That is roughly 2.5× the local comparable median of €439/m², so the central location and amenities do not justify the price.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, bright townhouse with usable rooms, heating, wood-framed windows, and apparent balcony/terrace access, but it is visually ordinary rather than dream-home beautiful. It seems structurally habitable, though the dated interiors, worn carpets, damp marks, and apparently empty kitchen mean meaningful refurbishment would be needed before it feels inviting.
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 – €10,000
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.
- Very dated finishes and stained carpeting would need replacement or substantial refreshing.
- Visible damp/mildew staining appears in at least one bedroom.
- The kitchen area appears unfitted, and the bathroom is not shown in the gallery.
- No compelling views, historic character, garden, or photogenic exterior is evident.
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.
The area around
Location score 38/100The area around Cento is the flat Po plain, with fields, drainage canals and scattered settlements. The Reno river runs nearby, and this part of the province is shaped more by reclaimed agricultural land than by relief. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Bologna is also a practical reference point for daily life. The area is known for agriculture and for Cento’s link to Guercino and the local Carnival.
