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
At €49,000 for 91 sqm, the ask is €538/sqm, but the description says the house is 'allo stato grezzo' and needs full renovation, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm works; effective cost is roughly €1,638/sqm. That is far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €421/sqm, though the historic-center setting, independent entrance, garden and cellar add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
The corner balcony and elevated position suggest a pleasant open outlook, and the small garden is a real plus for a townhouse in the historic center. But this is explicitly sold in shell condition, so it is a project rather than a ready home. At €49k for 91 sqm it has potential and value, but the current wow is capped by condition.
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€36,000 – €53,000
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.
