In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€406/m²), the 160 m² house appears well maintained, but allowing roughly €32,000 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to about €606/m² versus a €356/m² local benchmark. The garage, enclosed courtyard and 2,570 m² of separate land add value, although the listing does not say the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely habitable three-level townhouse with traditional beams, wooden shutters, a balcony, garage, and a leafy enclosed courtyard. The interiors are clean and complete, including two kitchens, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas, but the heavily dated furnishings and finishes make it more charming than dreamlike. The detached land adds lifestyle potential, though the immediate setting is an ordinary village street without a notable 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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but very dated in style and finishes.
- The larger 2,570 sqm garden/land is detached from the house rather than directly adjoining it.
- The courtyard is compact and overlooks neighboring buildings and a local road, so privacy is limited.
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.
