What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Detached single-family house, 130 sqm, priced at 531 EUR/m2 vs baseline median of 492 (solid), so only ~8% above median but very low absolute price (69k EUR). Needs full renovation (built 1965), budget ~900 EUR/m2 (~117k) for a habitable result. Independent unit, no condo fees, parking, cellar, balcony — good fundamentals for family home. Fresh listing (3 days). Energy class missing. Given post-reno value in the area, this is a reasonable entry price with upside, though renovation cost roughly matches purchase price so margin is modest.
More on the house and the area
Standard 1965 townhouse in Emilia Romagna needing full renovation. Interiors are dated and tired: worn concrete floors in the large lower rooms, old wooden cabinetry, floral sofa, and terrazzo floors upstairs. The kitchen and living spaces are functional but visually unremarkable, and the small courtyards are utilitarian concrete with a laundry sink. No compelling view, unusual location, historic character, or nature appeal. The low price (€531/m2) reflects the renovation burden rather than delivering a genuine bargain wow. Nothing here would stop a scroller.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
