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 €63,000 for 200 sqm, the ask is €315/sqm, below the local baseline of €425/sqm; factoring a mixed condition estimate of about €450/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €765/sqm. The description points to a multi-unit complex with part of the property needing work plus a street-front shop, so it is a solid but not exceptional value rather than a clear bargain for a simple move-in home.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, substantial, usable property rather than a romantic Italian dream home. The interiors look solid, clean and basically livable, with bathrooms, floors and heating in place, but they are dated and visually ordinary. Overall the value is strong for the size, yet the beauty and lifestyle wow factor are limited.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- No scenic views, garden or notable setting visible.
- Exterior is plain and partly worn, with a cemented courtyard.
- Interiors are habitable but dated; some units likely need renovation.
- Property appears split into multiple units plus shop, so it may feel more investment-oriented than dream-home-like.
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.
