What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €27,000 for 154 sqm, the asking price is just €175/sqm versus a local baseline of €445/sqm, a strong discount. But the description says stato grezzo/ideal to renovate, so I estimate about €900/sqm renovation; that makes the effective cost roughly €1,075/sqm, which keeps it attractive mainly for buyers willing to take on a substantial works project.
More on the house and the area
The stone townhouse facade has some character, and the upper terrace gets a pleasant church/borgo outlook. But this is largely a shell in stato grezzo: roofed and substantial, yet far from move-in ready, with major internal finishing still needed. At €27k for 154 sqm it has project appeal more than immediate live-the-dream appeal.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €54,000
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.
- Mostly in rough-shell condition and needs major finishing works
- Only one simple finished room is shown; kitchen/bath usability is unclear
- Some spaces appear raw, cluttered and partly unfinished
- Urban street setting with limited privacy despite balconies/terrace
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.
