The €80,000 asking price is €423/m², close to the local €406/m² benchmark, and the 189 m² home is described as immediately habitable. Allowing roughly €37,800 for normal updates gives an effective cost of about €623/m², so the large size and garden do not create a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably spacious, immediately livable townhouse with a manicured garden, sweeping wooded-hill views, beautiful arched windows, exposed beams, and a substantial traditional fireplace. The home is fully furnished and appears well maintained, though its rustic interiors and older fittings are more charming than polished.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Some interiors and finishes are dated and may benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The gallery does not clearly show the kitchen or all bedrooms.
- Semi-detached layout and proximity to neighboring buildings reduce privacy somewhat.
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.
