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 €65,000 (€565/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €88,000 or €765/m² after €200/m² for a habitable but dated home with single-glazed windows. This is roughly 116% above the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m², so the garage, cellar, courtyard and central location do not fully offset the price premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, livable Piedmontese townhouse with several bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, heating, balconies, a private courtyard, garage, and cellar. Its strongest appeal is the old-village character: terracotta roofs, traditional wooden details, and a surprisingly complete interior, though it is more charming and practical than spectacular and would benefit from modernization.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 house is habitable but dated, with older finishes and furnishings throughout.
- Single-glazed wooden windows may mean weaker insulation and higher heating needs.
- Some adjoining roof structures, balconies, and courtyard areas appear weathered and may need maintenance.
- There is no scenic landscape view; outlook is mainly over neighboring village rooftops.
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.
