At €58,800 plus an estimated €14,000 for light updating, the effective cost is about €1,040/m²—roughly double the €469/m² local benchmark. The home appears well presented and habitable, with 28 photos and parking, but the price is not especially low for this market.
More on the house and the area
A charming, highly presentable 70 sqm home with warm coordinated interiors, attractive vintage furnishings, chandeliers, and a decorative mantelpiece. It looks genuinely livable rather than a renovation project, with a functioning kitchen, dining area, living room, and apparent two-bedroom layout. The low price strengthens the appeal, though the lack of outdoor space or views limits the dream factor.
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 – €8,000
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.
- The gallery does not show the bedroom or bathroom, so their condition is unverified.
- The home appears compact, with a narrow kitchen and some visible cosmetic imperfections around the ceilings and entry.
- No garden, terrace, or notable view 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.
