In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €450/m², the €45,000 asking price looks attractive, but allowing about €20,000 for a habitable property puts the effective cost near €650/m², above comparable local stock at €445/m². The oversized parking provision is a plus, but the listing has only one photo and limited technical detail.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a genuine, habitable townhouse with a usable fitted kitchen, dining area, heating, and practical parking provisions. However, the visible interior is ordinary and dated, with no proven view, garden, or notable character to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Only one interior photo is provided, so the exterior, balcony, surroundings, and overall condition cannot be verified.
- The kitchen is functional but dated and would likely need cosmetic updating.
- No distinctive view, historic character, or standout architectural feature is visible.
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.
