What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €13,000 asking price is only €102/m², but the apartment is explicitly to renovate and the upper floor is raw; estimated all-in cost is about €1,052/m² (€133,650 total), versus a €467/m² local baseline. Historic-center location and 30 photos help, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine historic-center atmosphere, traditional stone façades, cobbled lanes, and a striking view toward the church dome. However, it is not a ready-to-live dream home: interiors are dated and damp-marked, while the upper level is only a rough unfinished shell.
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, €950/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €44,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp/mold remediation and likely electrical/plumbing work.
- The upper level is explicitly unfinished, and the first-floor apartment is also described as needing renovation.
- Access is through narrow historic-center lanes; no garden or private outdoor space is shown.
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.
