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 €55,000 for 115 m², the ask is €478/m²; assuming habitable condition adds about €200/m² renovation, for an effective ~€678/m². That sits above the low Lazio palazzo baseline of €454/m², so this looks ordinary-to-weak value despite positives like heating, parking, balcony and panoramic view.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home: bright, furnished, with kitchen, two bathrooms and generally move-in condition. The best feature is the open panoramic outlook from the windows and wraparound balcony, but the overall aesthetic is simple and somewhat dated rather than dreamy. At €55k for 115 m², it feels more like a solid bargain home than a scroll-stopping fantasy property.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and habitable but quite plain and dated.
- The panoramic view looks pleasant rather than dramatic.
- Upper-floor sloped spaces may reduce practical usability.
- No notable historic character or standout exterior is 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.
