What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €349/m², the €90,000 asking price is 14% below the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m², but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property gives an effective cost near €549/m². The extensive accessory spaces and good stated condition help, but the remote inland location and limited market appeal keep this from being a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, generously sized townhouse with a warm, characterful interior featuring exposed-brick arches, tiled floors, and a homely Italian atmosphere. The private courtyard, garden/vegetable plot, rustic annexes, garage space, attic, and energy features make it unusually versatile for the price. It is more practical and spacious than spectacular, with no exceptional landscape setting.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- The home is in a dense town setting with no notable scenic view.
- Outbuildings, greenhouse, sheds, and some courtyard surfaces look dated and will need upkeep.
- Interior decor is highly traditional and may need modernization for contemporary tastes.
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.
