What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €225/m², the €36,000 asking price is 47% below Campania townhouse stock’s €422/m² median, with 160 m², independent access, garage and parking. Condition is unspecified, so assuming modest €200/m² works brings the effective cost to about €425/m²—roughly market level rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 160 sqm townhouse with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, independent access, garage, and a glimpse toward wooded mountain scenery. The house is solid, fully floored, heated, and appears broadly livable, but it is plain and dated, with the kitchen needing completion and noticeable exterior maintenance issues. At €36,000, the size and garage create a strong value proposition, though this is a practical home rather than a dream-home showstopper.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 kitchen appears unfinished or missing cabinetry and appliances.
- Exterior plaster, balcony edges, and lower walls show cracking and deferred maintenance.
- The home is arranged over three levels with a steep, stepped approach; the attic area has low ceilings.
- The interiors are usable but dated and largely unfurnished.
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.
