What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The house appears habitable, with double-glazed PVC windows, autonomous heating, an orderly roof, garage and cellar; estimated renovation cost is about €200/m². Effective cost is roughly €75,000 (€750/m²), well above the Emilia-Romagna townhouse baseline of €467/m², so the price is ordinary to somewhat high despite the useful ancillary space.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, bright and clearly usable townhouse, with multiple bedrooms, a proper kitchen and living areas, double-glazed PVC windows, heating, garage and cellar. The home is very dated rather than beautifully restored, and the photos show no standout view, garden, exterior charm or distinctive architectural character.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- No private garden or notable view is shown.
- Bathroom count and condition should be verified, as the listing facts conflict with the description.
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.
