What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €46,500 (€291/m²), the asking price is below the €355/m² Piemonte townhouse baseline, but “needs renovation” implies roughly €112,000 in works at €700/m². The effective cost is therefore about €991/m², making this weak value despite the two garages, courtyard, and central location.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional two-level Piedmont townhouse with attractive shutters, a tiled roof, balcony, private courtyard and appealing wooded-hills views. At 160 sqm it has real-home potential rather than being a shell, but the interiors are not shown and the listing explicitly calls for renovation, so it is a characterful project rather than a move-in dream home.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €56,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Substantial renovation is required before the home is comfortably livable.
- The roof edges, plaster, balcony and adjoining outbuildings appear aged and may need careful inspection.
- The property includes a large courtyard and outbuildings, but their legal and practical usability should be verified.
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.
