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 €25,000 (€208/m²), this 120 m² historic-center townhouse is a strong entry price, with an estimated effective cost of about €458/m² after modest repairs—close to the €433/m² local comparison level. It is described as ready to live in aside from small adjustments, though the second entrance includes spaces needing renovation and conversion to storage use.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable 120 sqm mountain townhouse with dramatic wooded-rock views, balconies, a panoramic terrace, and the atmospheric rooftops of Longobucco below. The interiors are basic and old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but they are furnished, roofed, floored, and usable—not a ruin or empty shell. At €25,000, the combination of dramatic setting, size, and immediate usability creates a strong bargain effect.
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.
- The main home appears habitable but dated and likely needs cosmetic updating.
- The secondary entrance and additional rooms require renovation or conversion.
- Historic-center access is via narrow lanes, although one entrance is reportedly reachable by car.
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.
