At €49,000 (€490/m²), this 100 m² townhouse appears inexpensive upfront, but its estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €119,000 (€1,190/m²), well above the local €406/m² reference. The garage, small courtyard and semi-central position add value, but the required works substantially weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, roofed townhouse with usable rooms, floors, a bathroom, kitchen, garage, and a small courtyard rather than an empty shell. However, the interiors are very dated with damp-looking or peeling finishes, while the exterior and setting are utilitarian and offer little visual charm. The low price for roughly 100 sqm plus garage is the main attraction.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Clearly dated and in need of substantial renovation, including plastering, finishes, and likely systems.
- No notable view, garden, historic feature, or especially attractive setting is visible.
- Small courtyard and adjacent industrial-looking buildings reduce the dream-home appeal.
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.
