See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 (€296/m²), the house needs renovation estimated at about €94,500, bringing the effective cost to roughly €996/m² versus a local benchmark of €464/m². Its 135 m², garage, balcony and 44 photos are positives, but the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial historic town house in Ferla, with an attractive carved-stone doorway, ornate balcony and traditional tiled street setting. The interior is roofed and usable rather than a ruin, but it is very dated, worn and in need of meaningful renovation, with no garden or notable view to create a stronger dream-home effect.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Clearly dated and described as needing renovation.
- Visible damp/staining and aging finishes suggest more than a simple cosmetic refresh.
- Only one bathroom for a 135 sqm, five-room house; no clear evidence of heating or overall systems condition.
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.
