See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €20,000 purchase price looks low, but the house is currently uninhabitable after earthquake damage and needs a complete roof replacement plus structural repairs. At an estimated €1,300/m² renovation cost, the effective total is about €137,000, or €1,522/m²—well above the local €557/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest townhouse in a dense, ordinary residential neighborhood, with no notable view, historic character, or proven private garden. The €20,000 price reflects its condition: it is currently uninhabitable, with major structural work and a complete roof rebuild required, although the separate garage is a useful extra.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,300/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- Currently declared uninhabitable after earthquake damage.
- Complete roof replacement and structural post-earthquake repairs are required.
- No interior living spaces are shown; the property is a major renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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.
The area around
Location score 33/100This is the flat central Po plain between the Secchia basin and the lower courses of the Modenese and Mantuan rivers, with intensive farmland, drainage canals and scattered hamlets as the dominant landscape. The nearest town of size within daily use is Carpi, which has a large historic centre and services; Modena is farther south. The area is known for Emilia’s agricultural plain, with production tied to fields, dairying and the wider food economy of the Po valley.
