Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €441/m², the asking price is slightly below comparable local stock at €469/m², but the three-floor house is presented only as having “potential” and the listing does not state its condition or renovation needs. Allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation raises the effective cost to about €1,141/m², weakening the deal despite the garden, parking and generous size.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, independent three-level house with clean, furnished interiors, a working kitchen and bathroom, multiple bedrooms, balconies and a pleasant wood-burning stove. It is clearly a real, usable home rather than a renovation shell, but the setting is ordinary, with a mostly gravel courtyard, basic exterior finishes and no notable view or strong historic character.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €60,000
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 one bathroom is shown for a large eight-room home.
- Energy certificate indicates a low G rating and likely high heating costs.
- The gravel courtyard and adjoining outbuilding are functional but lack polished outdoor appeal.
- The house appears immediately usable, though some exterior maintenance and modernization may be needed.
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.
