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
Habitable townhouse of 115 sqm at €79,000 means €687/sqm; adding light habitable works (~€200/sqm) brings the effective cost to about €887/sqm, well above the very low local baseline of €468/sqm. The listing looks credible and livable (26 photos, coherent description, central yet quiet location, private courtyard), but on pure numbers it is not a strong discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, genuinely habitable townhouse with kitchen, bathroom, heating and decent-sized rooms, so it works as a real home from day one. But visually it is very ordinary: no view, little historic charm, and strongly dated finishes throughout. The value per square metre is good, yet the dream factor is limited unless you are mainly buying practicality.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Very plain exterior and no meaningful view
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic updating
- Outdoor courtyard is large but mostly hard-surfaced and not very charming
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.
