What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€423/m²), the asking price is close to the local €409/m² benchmark, but the 130 m² home needs substantial renovation and modernization. Estimated works of about €91,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,123/m²; the listing does not state the construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable three-level townhouse with strong historic character: exposed stone, old timber beams, original woodwork, a terrace, and a small courtyard garden. The kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating, and roofed attic make it more than a shell, but the interiors are very dated and some areas show maintenance and electrical concerns. At €55,000 for roughly 130 sqm, the space and character create a compelling bargain, though it is a renovation project rather than a ready-made dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Partially habitable but clearly needs modernization and cosmetic renovation.
- Only one bathroom is shown for four bedrooms and five total rooms.
- Visible wall cracking, exposed wiring, dated systems, and energy class G warrant technical checks.
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.
