The asking price is attractive at €336/m², but allowing about €34,200 for ordinary habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to roughly €536/m², well above the local €345/m² benchmark. The listing is detailed and shows 19 photos, but it does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious townhouse with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, garage, cellar, and a flower-filled terrace. Its strongest appeal is the unusually low price for 171 sqm, but the interiors are dated and the setting is an ordinary built-up neighborhood rather than a dreamlike Italian landscape.
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 – €19,000
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 very dated and cluttered, with substantial cosmetic updating needed.
- The basement, utility areas, and garage look rough and utilitarian.
- No scenic view or distinctive historic architectural feature is evident from 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.
