Why this price is what it is

At €83,000 (€1,038/m²), even allowing roughly €16,000 for basic updating, the effective cost is about €1,238/m²—far above the local €500/m² benchmark. The description presents a functional three-level home, but it does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance, so the premium is not well supported.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a genuine, usable three-level townhouse with multiple bedrooms, functioning kitchen and bathroom, tiled floors, heating, and a terrace. The wood-panelled rooms and attic with a timber ceiling add modest character, but the home is largely plain and dated rather than visually striking. It feels livable with refreshing and maintenance work, not like a dream-location property.

Updating, not renovation
€16,000 – €23,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Dated interiors and kitchen need cosmetic modernization.
  • Bathroom shows visible wear and possible plumbing/sealing issues around the toilet.
  • Exterior facade and terrace appear weathered; no notable view or garden is shown.

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.

The area around

Location score 43/100

The Po runs by Boretto, with embankments, river islands and a flat alluvial landscape that defines the area. This is the Bassa Reggiana on the lower Po plain, with fields, drainage canals and scattered villages. Guastalla is the nearest larger centre and has a historic centre with arcaded streets and piazzas; Parma is the main city in daily reach for broader services. The area is known for river navigation on the Po and for the agricultural plain of the lower Emilia.
