Despite being labelled renovated, the description says it is a rustic shell still to be finished. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective price is about €1,715/m² versus €417/m² for comparable homes in the area, making this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a reasonably attractive but fairly ordinary townhouse exterior, with a small front garden, covered outdoor space, roof overhangs, and some brick detailing. It appears to be a solid, roofed structure rather than a ruin, but the unfinished state and lack of usable interior evidence make it a renovation project rather than a dream-ready 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€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- Advertised as a rustico to be completed despite the listing’s generic “renovated” condition label.
- Interior photos are absent, and the visible unfinished openings, construction fencing, and equipment suggest it is not currently move-in ready.
- Verify utilities, permits, insulation, windows, and the actual completion cost before purchase.
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.
