Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The house is described as immediately habitable, but allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost to about €94,000, or €940/m²—well above the local comparison level of €418/m². Its central location, parking, cellar and balcony add usability, but the listing does not say when it was built or provide a clear condition assessment.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, immediately habitable townhouse with generous rooms, traditional exposed timber ceilings, a balcony, attic space, cellar, and parking. It lacks a spectacular view or standout exterior, but the historic beams give it real character; overall it feels like a comfortable home needing cosmetic modernization 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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors are clearly usable but dated, with old flooring and furnishings that may need refreshing.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The gallery does not show the kitchen, bathroom, exterior, or the full condition of the roof and systems.
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.
