The €59,500 asking price is attractive at €522/m², but allowing roughly €22,800 for routine updating brings the effective cost to about €722/m², above the local €557/m² benchmark. The detailed description, garden, garage and central location are positives, though the listing does not state the property's condition or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A solid, spacious family townhouse with two levels, three bedrooms, balconies, garage, and small private garden areas. The home appears clean, roofed, heated, and genuinely livable, but its conventional 1980s-style interiors and dated finishes make it practical rather than dreamlike.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Plain, dated interiors and bathrooms would benefit from modernization.
- The kitchen appears incomplete or sparsely fitted and may need updating before regular use.
- Attached townhouse setting offers no notable scenic view or exceptional historic character.
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.
