At €58,000 for 85 sqm, the asking price is €682/sqm; in 'needs renovation' condition I estimate about €700/sqm renovation, for an effective cost near €1,382/sqm. That is far above the low internal baseline of €406/sqm for Lombardia townhouses, though the private courtyard, terrace, garage/dependance potential, and residential location near services support some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a functional village townhouse complex with a private courtyard, terrace and extra covered spaces, but the look is plain rather than romantic. The main structure appears roofed and basically sound, with old but usable rooms, yet much of the property feels dated and semi-storage-like, so it reads as a serious renovation project rather than an immediately dreamy home. At €58k for 85 sqm plus annex space, the value helps more than the beauty does.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
