At €58,000 (€644/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €844/m² after roughly €18,000 for habitable-condition updates, well above the €406/m² local benchmark. The detached 150 m² garden, garage and heating add value, but the premium remains substantial for a basic 1970s home with energy class G.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, habitable Italian townhouse with a cozy lived-in interior, functioning kitchen and bathroom, balcony, air conditioning and a generous garden. The hedges, private outdoor space and traditional wood detailing add charm, but the setting is a fairly ordinary residential neighborhood and the interiors are dated rather than spectacular.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 fully usable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The 150 sqm garden is detached from the house, approximately 50 meters away.
- No notable panoramic view or particularly distinctive historic/exterior character 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.
