What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse: using about €200/m² renovation, the effective cost is roughly €853/m² (€49k + ~€15k), versus a low-stock baseline of €473/m², so it does not look cheap on this dataset despite the mountain-view village setting. The description suggests only light works, but 1604 days on market is a major negative and caps confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and heating all look in place, so it seems readily habitable with only updating needed. The main wow comes from the mountain view and the low price, while the house itself is simple 1960s village stock with limited historic charm.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 dated and fairly plain rather than characterful.
- Some visible wall cracking/staining suggests maintenance and cosmetic work.
- View is good but the setting is a village street with modest immediate surroundings.
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.
