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 €83,000 for 120 sqm, the ask is €692/sqm; with a light habitable refresh estimated at about €250/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €942/sqm, far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €353/sqm. The description is coherent and photo count is solid, with positives like garage, cellar and private garden, but the need to create a second bathroom and the weak price-vs-baseline keep it only fair.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a spacious, usable home with big rooms, a private garden and strong value for the size. The images are polished renderings rather than proof of real-life character, so the wow comes more from potential and livability than from verified beauty. At €83k for 120 sqm with garage and cellar, it feels appealing but not a true dream-home scroll stopper from the evidence shown.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Photos appear to be renderings, not real finished interiors
- No actual exterior or view is shown in the gallery
- Likely needs updating/personalisation despite being habitable
- Bathroom situation is unclear; description suggests a second bath is only a proposal
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.
