What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 88 sqm, the ask is €625/sqm; with light habitable refresh estimated at ~€250/sqm, the effective cost is about €875/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €405/sqm, so it is not cheap on this catalog's terms. Positives are independent townhouse, heating, double glazing, garage/portico and no condo fees, but the staged 'simulation' images suggest some cosmetic work is still needed.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, low-cost townhouse rather than a dream-property scroll stopper. It appears basically habitable with heating, double glazing, a fireplace and covered parking, but the spaces are simple and visually plain, and the exterior courtyard has little romance or wow factor.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€7,000 – €12,000
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 are partly virtual staging/simulated after cleaning and repainting.
- Courtyard setting is functional rather than scenic, with no real view or garden.
- Interiors look habitable but plain, with some finishing and cosmetic updating still needed.
- Only one bedroom and one bathroom, so usability is limited for many buyers.
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.
