Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€483/m²), the asking price is already about 40% above comparable townhouses before allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified updates, bringing the effective cost near €683/m². The home has useful garage, cellar and terrace space, but the listing does not state its overall condition; the newer boiler is a positive, while energy class F adds caution.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clearly usable 143 m² townhouse with three bedrooms, heating, a garage, cellar, and a small outdoor area. The rooms are bright and well maintained, with attractive older wooden furniture, but the house is visually ordinary rather than distinctive and lacks a memorable view or strong historic character.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 clean and usable but visibly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Energy class F suggests potentially higher heating costs.
- No appealing landscape or town view is shown; the setting appears conventional and urban.
- Large semi-basement cellar may need checking for dampness and ventilation.
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.
