What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €738/m², the asking price is already 82% above the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m²; adding an estimated €200/m² for unspecified condition raises the effective cost to about €938/m². The 36 photos and parking/terrace help, but the remote hamlet location and missing condition data limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and immediately livable home with three bedrooms, a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, balconies, and a garage. Its Valtellina hamlet setting and stone surroundings add some Alpine character, but the house itself is fairly ordinary rather than spectacular, with dated interiors and no proven big view or garden.
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€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.
- Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, especially the wood paneling, bathroom, and kitchen finishes.
- The photos do not show a meaningful panoramic view or private garden.
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.
