What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €63,000 for 200 sqm, the ask is just €315/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €405/sqm in Lombardia townhouses; even assuming about €400/sqm for partial updating from the 'in parte...' condition note, the effective cost is about €715/sqm. Large size, 35 photos, garage/courtyard and mixed residential units plus shop make it interesting, but the partly unspecified condition and mixed-use layout keep it below diamond level.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, practical property complex at a very low price, but it does not deliver much romance or visual charm. The main value is size and usability: the interiors look basically habitable, with bathrooms, floors and windows in place, but they are dated and need refreshing. It feels more like a functional investment or family compound than a dream Italian home.
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, €400/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.
- Very plain exterior on a paved street/courtyard with no scenic setting
- Interiors look dated and mostly empty, needing cosmetic modernization
- Part of the complex appears unfinished/utility-like rather than residential
- No garden or meaningful outdoor living space shown
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.
