In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 75 m² townhouse at €55,000 (€733/m²) offers heating, balcony, furnishings and a cellar, but its estimated all-in cost is about €933/m² after modest upkeep. That is well above the €431/m² local comparison level, so the price is fair only if the condition and location are especially attractive.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, furnished townhouse with unusually attractive vaulted ceilings, warm arches, a built-in fireplace, and a characterful exposed-brick cellar. It lacks a dramatic view, garden, or standout exterior, but the solid everyday livability and historic interior details make it a strong cheap-home prospect rather than a renovation project.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 bathroom and exterior/roof are not shown in the gallery.
- The cellar has visible wall wear and peeling plaster, suggesting some moisture or maintenance work.
- Decor and kitchen are functional but dated rather than recently modernized.
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.
