What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 77 sqm, the ask is about €584/sqm; with an estimated €200/sqm light refresh for a habitable home, the effective cost is about €784/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €420/sqm, so it does not screen as cheap. The historic-center character helps a bit, but 1,605 days on market is a major negative and caps confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little historic-centre home, not a shell: it has a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, finished floors and a characterful attic bedroom with exposed beams. The stone walls and rustic structure add charm, but the interiors feel dark and modest rather than truly beautiful or view-led. At €45k it has genuine appeal as an affordable live-in base with 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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Photos show dark interiors with limited natural light
- Compact townhouse layout with low-ceiling attic bedroom
- More functional than polished; would benefit from cosmetic refresh
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.
