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 €89,000 (€494/m²), the asking price is close to the local €467/m² norm, but one of the two levels retains 1960s finishes and needs modernization. Allowing roughly €54,000 for updates brings the effective cost to about €794/m², making this more of a flexible family or two-unit project than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clean, fully roofed townhouse with a bright renovated kitchen, usable bedrooms, two bathrooms, heating, and a practical layout that could suit a family or two households. Its main appeal is livability and flexibility rather than beauty: the interiors are mostly ordinary, one section needs updating, and the setting shown is residential with no notable view or distinctive character.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€18,000 – €30,000
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.
- Only part of the house appears updated; the second portion retains dated 1960s finishes.
- No standout landscape, historic details, or scenic views are shown.
- The large size may require modernization and ongoing heating/maintenance costs.
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.
