Although tagged 'Renovated', the text clearly says 'fabbricato allo stato rustico' with spaces to be created ('da adibire ad appartamento'), so this is a full restoration case at about €1,100/m². Effective cost is roughly €1,383/m² (€75,000 + ~€291,500 works over 265 m²), far above the €423/m² baseline, and it has been on the market 188 days.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive townhouse volume rather than a ready Italian dream home. The exterior is plain and the interior shown is an unfinished shell, so despite the solid structure and apparently sound roof, it needs major work before it is truly livable. At this price per sqm it has value, but the wow factor is low.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€105,000 – €155,000
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.
- Sold in rustico/al grezzo condition with no finished kitchen or bathrooms visible.
- Upper floors appear as raw shell spaces requiring full fit-out and systems completion.
- No outdoor space, terrace, garden, or view shown.
- Semi-central narrow-street setting is practical but not especially scenic.
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.
