What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 130 sqm, the ask is €654/sqm; with light-to-moderate works implied by 'alcuni interventi di ristrutturazione', I estimate about €350/sqm renovation, for an effective cost near €1,004/sqm. That is well above this catalog baseline of €408/sqm for Lombardia townhouses, so despite the central location, private courtyard and garage/heating, it looks more ordinary-to-weak than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a usable, ordinary village townhouse rather than a dream-property scroll stopper. The private rear courtyard and 130 sqm for €85k add practical value, but the outdoor areas are mostly hard-surfaced and the photos show modest condition with some visible wear. Interior livability may be fine from the listing, yet it is not proven by the gallery.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the claimed habitability is not visually verified.
- Exterior spaces are functional but mostly concrete and need cosmetic improvement.
- Facade and rear walls show wear/patching and suggest ongoing maintenance.
- Courtyard outlook is enclosed by neighboring buildings with limited privacy/view.
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.
