What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €850/sqm; assuming a basically habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €1,050/sqm including light updates. That is well above the local baseline of €648/sqm, so despite the terrace and garage it looks ordinary-to-weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
The big livable terrace with open rooftop-and-hill views is the clear selling point and gives it real everyday appeal. Inside, it looks structurally usable with floors, bathroom and basic fittings in place, but it is dated and tired rather than charming. This feels like a solid, affordable home you could update, not a true wow house.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 very dated and need a full cosmetic refresh, especially the kitchen.
- Some areas show wear/patching and likely need maintenance checks.
- Terrace structure and finishes look functional but not polished.
- Limited character; this is more practical than romantic.
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.
