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 €1,089/m², the €98,000 asking price is about 2.7× the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m²; adding an estimated €200/m² for habitable-condition costs gives an effective €1,289/m². The 2008 renovation, two bathrooms, private area and three parking spaces add value, but not enough to justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a polished, genuinely habitable townhouse with warm exposed timber beams, attractive brick details, a striking open staircase, two bathrooms, and a fully fitted kitchen. The private courtyard and three owned parking spaces add real usability, while the compact vertical layout is the main compromise. At €98,000 for a renovated 90 sqm home, it has strong dream-home appeal even without a spectacular view.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 spread across three levels connected by a spiral staircase, which may not suit everyone.
- The 50 sqm courtyard is private but currently quite basic and unlandscaped.
- No notable landscape or town views are shown, and the energy class is not provided.
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.
