At €68,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is €453/sqm; with only light post-renovation allowance (~€50/sqm) the effective cost is about €503/sqm, around 42% above this catalog's Piemonte townhouse baseline of €354/sqm. The score is supported by concrete upgrade evidence in the text (2022 condensing boiler, double glazing, insulated roof, redone bathroom, terrace, 29 photos, central location), but it is not a deep-discount deal versus baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, renovated townhouse with a pleasant private terrace and solid everyday livability. The house feels more practical than romantic, but its village-center character, large size and very low price make it appealing as a real home rather than a project. Not a scenery-led dream property, yet a strong value buy with enough charm to imagine living there comfortably.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €50/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€3,000 – €4,000
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 real panoramic view; terrace looks inward over neighboring buildings.
- Interiors are practical and renovated but fairly plain rather than especially beautiful.
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 4-bedroom house.
- Village-center setting likely means limited privacy/parking.
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.
