Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €185/m², the asking price is about 40% below comparable local stock, and the house has heating, fireplace, kitchen, cellar, terrace and 18 photos. However, the listing is silent on condition, construction year and bathrooms; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost to about €385/m², so the apparent discount needs verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, furnished home rather than a ruin, with functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, multiple rooms, and generous living space. The carved stone entrance, old doors, arches, balcony, and traditional town-house character add appeal, but the interiors are ordinary and somewhat cluttered, with no standout view or garden visible.
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€34,000 – €57,000
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 are clearly lived-in but dated, cluttered, and likely need cosmetic updating.
- The property is very large, so maintenance and heating costs could be substantial.
- No compelling landscape view or garden is clearly proven by the photos; the setting appears urban and town-based.
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.
