Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€1,021/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,221/m² after modest finishing allowance, well above the €630/m² local comparison level. The 50-metre beach location, terrace and furnishings add real value, but the premium is substantial for a 48 m² home whose listing does not state its energy class or building year.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, furnished and immediately usable small home with a working kitchen, bathroom, living space and bedroom, rather than a renovation shell. Its strongest appeal is the 50-meter proximity to the beach and outdoor space, but the interiors are plain and dated, while the terrace and surrounding urban views are not especially beautiful.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 usable but dated and modest, with only one small bathroom.
- The large rooftop terrace appears weathered and may need waterproofing or resurfacing.
- Photos show dense low-rise surroundings rather than a confirmed sea view; the property is in a seasonal beach-town setting.
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.
