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 €75,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €750/sqm; with a typical habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€950/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €418/sqm, so it is not cheap on this catalog’s terms. Positives are the historic-center setting, 37 photos, heating/garage/cellar, and no obvious legal issues, but the price sits well above baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine live-in townhouse in a pretty old-street setting, with stone details, cobbled lanes and a bit of village atmosphere. Inside it is functional with kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and bedrooms already in place, but the finish is modest and dated rather than dream-home beautiful. The value is solid for 100 sqm at this price, yet the wow comes more from the historic alley context than from standout interiors or views.
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 habitable but dated and fairly plain.
- Some exterior areas show moisture/weathering and need tidying.
- Courtyard/outdoor space feels enclosed rather than scenic.
- No real panoramic view is shown in the photos.
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.
