See what needs doing and what each job costs
The house is explicitly to be renovated: at least €132,000 of work is plausible, bringing the effective cost to about €212,000, or €1,767/m². That is far above the local €417/m² reference; the garden, garage and outbuildings add utility but do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
A substantial old townhouse with a weathered historic facade, balconies, private front and rear garden, garage, and generous outbuildings. The main house appears roofed and usable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are very dated and the property needs significant renovation before it becomes an attractive dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €70,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed throughout, including finishes, kitchen, bathroom updates and likely systems.
- The rear garden and attached rustic structures appear overgrown and in poor condition.
- No notable landscape view or standout architectural interior is shown.
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.
