At €70,000 (€350/m²), this habitable 200 m² townhouse has an estimated effective cost of about €550/m² after modest renovation, versus roughly €345/m² for comparable Piemonte homes. Its garage, cellar, heating, balcony and terrace add practicality, but the effective price is still substantially above the local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, spacious townhouse with a working kitchen, furnished living areas, heating, balcony, terrace, garage and courtyard space. Its strongest appeal is practicality and generous size rather than spectacular beauty: the dated wood-panelled interiors and ordinary residential surroundings keep it from feeling like a dream Italian escape.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 and furnishings are notably dated and may need cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 200 sqm home.
- The setting is a practical residential courtyard rather than a scenic Italian landscape or historic borgo.
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.
