See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€611/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,211/m² after renovation, well above the local €416/m² benchmark. The rebuilt roof and central historic-center location add value, but the house still needs substantial work and the listing does not state its current condition or legal habitability.
More on the house and the area
A characterful historic-center house with beautiful exposed beams, original doors, timber floors and a recently rebuilt wooden roof. It is a real, roofed house rather than a ruin, but currently needs substantial renovation and modernization before it becomes a comfortable home; the private lightwell and possible attic conversion add appeal.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Significant renovation is needed: peeling plaster, exposed masonry, unfinished surfaces and no visible fitted kitchen.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a three-level home; utilities and heating condition are unclear.
- The attic and roof structure appear usable, but the attic is currently storage space rather than finished living area.
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.
