The habitable 55 m² farmhouse costs about €1,018/m² after allowing €200/m² for light works, versus a local reference of €691/m², so it is priced above the area’s typical level. Heating, disabled access, and 16 photos are positives, but it is 21 km from the sea and offers no clear location premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable 55 m² town home with attractive vaulted ceilings, traditional tile floors, and a warm lived-in character. It is practical rather than spectacular: the setting is dense and urban, with no outdoor space or scenic view shown, while the decor and bathroom feel dated.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Dated interiors and furnishings would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- No garden, terrace, or notable view is shown.
- Located on a narrow urban street with limited apparent parking.
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.
