What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €50,000 asking price is below the €492/m² regional baseline (€417/m²), but the description indicates a property to personalize and likely renovate. At an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,117/m², well above the baseline; condition and technical details are missing.
More on the house and the area
The pink facade, traditional shutters, and exposed timber ceilings give the townhouse some attractive Emilia-Romagna character. However, the interior is clearly unfinished rather than livable: every room is a raw brick-and-concrete shell, so this is a renovation project despite the appealing exterior.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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 an unfinished shell with exposed brick, bare concrete floors, and no visible fitted kitchen or finished bathroom.
- Significant renovation is still required before it can be occupied, including floors, plastering, services, and interior finishes.
- The adjacent structure appears heavily scaffolded or derelict, which may affect outlook and construction risk.
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.
