What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 202 sqm, the asking price is about €470/sqm; assuming broadly habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is roughly €670/sqm including light renovation, versus a low-stock baseline of €428/sqm. Large size, independent villa, garden, cellar and two garages are positives, but this is not a clear discount to baseline after renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, solid, fully usable villa with kitchen, bathrooms and generous rooms, so it is a real house rather than a project. But the architecture and setting are quite ordinary, and the interiors feel dated rather than beautiful. At the price for 202 sqm, the value is strong, yet the dream-home wow factor is limited.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Plain suburban setting with no view or special location
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic updating
- Garden/outdoor space looks neglected and not very appealing
- Basement is large but unfinished/utility-like rather than living space
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.
