What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €263/m², the €52,000 asking price is 26% below the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m², but allowing an estimated €200/m² for its unspecified condition raises the effective cost to about €463/m². The listing is recent and well-photographed, but missing condition, building-year and energy data prevent a stronger score.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 198 sqm Piemonte townhouse with a cheerful painted façade, decorative stone surrounds, balcony, traditional furnishings, and a fireplace. It appears to be a real, functioning home rather than a renovation shell, but the interiors are old-fashioned and would benefit from modernization. The generous size at €52,000 gives it genuine bargain appeal, though it lacks a dramatic view or standout setting.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 usable but distinctly dated, with old bathrooms, kitchen fittings, decor, and finishes.
- No clear scenic view or private outdoor living space is shown.
- Roof, heating, electrical systems, and energy performance are not documented in the available facts.
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.
