Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €342/m² before works, this 231 m² house is already about 83% above the local €187/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified updating raises the effective cost to about €542/m². The description says it has two bedrooms, while the listing data reports zero rooms and beds, and the condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clearly usable two-story family home with two generous bedrooms, a proper bathroom, multiple living areas, and intact floors and ceilings. Its appeal is practical rather than visually spectacular: the interiors are bright and well maintained but strongly dated, with no proven garden, exterior character, or view.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- Very dated finishes, furnishings, and décor will likely need modernization.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- No exterior, garden, terrace, or notable view is shown.
- The kitchen is stated in the description but not photographed.
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.
