What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

At €393/m², the €66,000 asking price is below the Calabria townhouse baseline of €433/m², but estimated habitable-property costs of about €200/m² raise the effective cost to roughly €593/m² (€99,600 total), above baseline. The central, independent 168 m² home has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a double garage, but 235 days on market caps the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious townhouse with multiple bedrooms, working kitchens and bathrooms, a garage, and a sunny roof terrace. Its strongest appeal is the unusually low price for 168 sqm, but the worn exterior, dated finishes, and dense urban setting make it practical rather than dreamy.
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 – €19,000
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 appear habitable but distinctly dated, with likely cosmetic and systems upgrades needed.
- The exterior plaster and terrace covering show visible age and maintenance needs.
- Urban townhouse setting offers no visible scenic view, garden, or surrounding nature; bathroom count should be verified against the listing data.
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.
