The €91,790 asking price is €488/m², but estimated habitable-home costs bring the effective price to about €688/m², well above the local €417/m² reference. The property has useful features such as a garage, heating, balcony and 18 photos, but the premium is not supported by a stated location advantage or additional details on bathrooms and energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, functioning 188 m² townhouse with three bedrooms, garage, autonomous heating, and a substantial outdoor component. It is a practical home rather than a dreamlike Italian retreat: the interiors are usable but dated, with no notable historic character or standout views. The advertised 49% discount adds meaningful bargain appeal.
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 – €21,000
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 home appears livable and well maintained, but interiors are dated and visually ordinary.
- The large rooftop/terrace areas show weathering and may require waterproofing or maintenance checks.
- This is an auction property; legal status, occupancy, utilities, and the advertised garden should be verified.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite the description and photos showing two bathroom areas.
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.
