What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 40 m², the asking price is €1,500/m²; with an estimated €700/m² renovation, effective cost rises to about €2,200/m² versus the €492/m² local baseline. The planned complete renovation and missing condition/building data weaken the case despite independent access and a fresh listing.
More on the house and the area
The townhouse has a neat renovated-looking facade, classic green shutters, a planted front garden and some appealing exposed timber-beam character. However, the real interior is presently an unfinished renovation shell rather than a livable home; the furnished interiors shown appear to be visualizations of its potential.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 interior is currently unfinished, with bare floors/walls and visible plumbing and electrical preparations.
- Kitchen, bathroom fittings, flooring and final services are not shown as complete; renovation costs and timeline need verification.
- The property is only about 40 sqm and sits in a suburban street with no notable landscape view.
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.
