See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 for 70 m² (€700/m²), it is already above the local €400/m² benchmark; finishing the attic and likely updating the house could bring the effective cost near €1,400/m². The sea is only 4 km away and there is a terrace, but the advertised 60 m² conflicts with the stated 70 m² and the condition is not clearly disclosed.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, bright and clearly usable small house with good tiled floors, a warm wooden staircase and freshly painted interiors. It has practical potential and a low price, but the unfinished kitchen and attic/terrace, together with the lack of distinctive views or historic character, keep it in the charming rather than dream-home category.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.
- Kitchen appears unfinished and lacks fitted cabinets/appliances.
- The loft room and terrace still need finishing.
- Energy class G; exterior, terrace and any views are not shown.
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.
