Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 80 m² (€500/m²), this independent two-level home appears potentially habitable, though its condition is not stated; allowing about €200/m² for updating brings the effective cost to roughly €700/m² versus a €646/m² local benchmark. Its quiet historic-center setting and four bedrooms add appeal, but the limited description and only four photos warrant caution.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, functional historic-center home with a colorful independent exterior, multiple rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and established living spaces. It appears move-in capable but dated rather than dreamlike, with limited outdoor appeal and no visible panoramic setting; the €40,000 price is its strongest attraction.
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.
- Interiors are usable but noticeably dated and heavily furnished.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a five-room, four-bedroom layout.
- No garden, terrace, or scenic view is evident from the gallery.
- The listing does not specify condition, energy class, or renovation history.
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.
