Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 (€769/m²), the home is already more than twice the local comparison level of €345/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition makes the effective cost about €969/m². The listing highlights useful features such as a garage, heating, fireplace and balcony, but it does not state the condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A very appealing, move-in-ready country townhouse with a large paved terrace, mature garden, orchard-like planting, and broad wooded-hill views from the balcony and rooms. The interiors are practical, well maintained, and furnished, with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, and no signs of a ruin or major renovation project. Its main limitation is that the character is more comfortable and traditional than architecturally spectacular.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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 clean and fully usable but dated in style.
- The property fronts a public road, so the garden and outdoor areas may not be completely private.
- Energy performance and precise structural condition are not provided.
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.
