What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €622/m², the asking price is already 33% above the Marche townhouse baseline of €467/m²; assuming renovation at about €700/m², effective cost rises to roughly €1,244/m². The description is incomplete and gives no condition, construction or habitability details, so the small historic-center premium is not enough to offset the uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric medieval-borgo townhouse with an independent entrance, stone surroundings, traditional shutters, and cobbled lanes that give it strong Italian character. Inside it is a real, functioning small home with a bathroom, heating, tiled floors, and usable rooms, but it needs cosmetic renovation and damp-related repairs rather than being move-in ready. At €28,000, the historic setting gives it appealing dream-home potential despite the compact size.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 clearly dated, with peeling paint and signs of damp that need attention.
- Only 45 sqm with one bedroom and no visible private outdoor space or notable view.
- The narrow cobbled-borgo access may limit convenient parking and deliveries.
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.
