At €28,800 (€374/m²), the asking price is below the local €429/m² benchmark, but estimated habitable-condition costs bring the effective price to about €574/m². The listing is brief and does not state the room or bathroom layout, while Montenerodomo is inland and 37 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This 77 sqm townhouse has attractive modern finishes in several rooms, plus a characterful brick exterior and an unusually low €28,800 price. However, the dark old bedroom suggests the home may be only partly renovated rather than truly move-in ready, and there is no proven view, garden, or standout historic interior.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- The gallery is inconsistent: several polished modern interiors contrast sharply with a dark, visibly dated bedroom.
- No bathroom, kitchen, utilities, or structural details are confirmed in the facts, despite the listing calling it habitable.
- The modern images may represent a renovation concept or a different part of the property; verify what is actually included.
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.
