At €52,450, the estimated all-in cost is about €84,450, or €528/m² after allowing €200/m² for an apparently habitable home—close to the local €500/m² benchmark, so the discount is modest. The listing provides useful features such as heating, garage and terrace, but it does not say the bathroom count, condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, independent 160 m² home with a usable layout, bathroom, terrace, air conditioning and furnished interiors. It is clearly a real house rather than a shell, but the dated décor, modest urban setting, rooftop wear and reported rising damp limit its dream-home 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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Visible humidity and peeling ceiling finishes need investigation and repair.
- The home is dated and furnished in an old-fashioned style, likely requiring cosmetic modernization.
- The rooftop terrace is extensive but appears exposed and weathered; check waterproofing and drainage.
- This is an auction property, so legal, occupancy and access conditions should be verified.
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.
