At €83,000 for 80 m², the estimated effective cost is about €1,238/m² after allowing for habitable-condition costs, well above the €467/m² level of comparable low-cost homes in the area. The three-level layout, private outdoor space and 23 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the building year or energy class and the location has no clear sea or major tourist premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and usable townhouse rather than a renovation shell, with two bedrooms, a functional kitchen, heating, a balcony and an adaptable attic. Its tiled floors and wood-panelled interiors give it some lived-in character, but the home is visually ordinary and dated, with limited outdoor space and no special view.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Dated interiors and visible peeling/exterior maintenance issues will need cosmetic updating.
- The three-level layout has narrow circulation and stairs, with only one bathroom.
- Urban setting offers no notable landscape or panoramic view.
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.
