What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is €316/m², about 22% below the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m², with 237 m², garden and parking. However, the condition is unreported and the description is incomplete; allowing roughly €200/m² for works raises the effective cost to about €516/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial, well-kept semi-detached townhouse with a generous private garden, practical parking/ancillary spaces, and a convincingly usable interior. It lacks dramatic views or standout historic features, but the house appears move-in ready aside from cosmetic modernization and possible maintenance work.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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 clean and furnished but noticeably dated in style.
- The condition of the roof, systems, bathrooms, and energy performance is not documented.
- Some outbuildings and garden structures look utilitarian and may need maintenance.
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.
The area around

Sabbioneta is nearby and is a UNESCO World Heritage site as an ideal Renaissance town. This part of the province is known for irrigated farming and Po Valley food production.
