In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 (€1,236/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,436/m² after modest habitable-condition work, well above the local €858/m² reference. Independent access, garage, heating and mansarda add practical value, but the premium is substantial for a property 49 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, well-kept apartment with warm wood floors, an independent entrance, heating, garage, and a striking open view across the surrounding fields. It is more practical than characterful, with dated furnishings and an unfinished-looking concrete ceiling, but the countryside outlook gives it real everyday appeal at this price.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- The kitchen and bathroom are not shown in the gallery, so their condition and equipment are unclear.
- Interior finishes are dated, and the exposed concrete ceiling may need cosmetic improvement.
- The outdoor space appears to be a narrow balcony/stair landing rather than a generous terrace or garden.
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 50/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Imola, so the setting is primarily an urban plain on the Santerno valley at the edge of the Romagna plain. The Santerno runs through the town. The first Apennine hills rise just south of Imola, but they are outside the urban fabric rather than the immediate setting. Imola is the nearest town of size and has a full range of services, a substantial historic centre and the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, which is what the area is most known for.
