What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€226/m²), the 288 m² townhouse needs renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing effective cost to roughly €927/m² versus the Veneto townhouse baseline of €405/m². The large size, private court, garage and cellar add utility, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
The river gorge, wooded mountain setting and private garden create a genuinely dramatic place to live, with old timber floors, beams and traditional details adding character. However, this is a very dated townhouse rather than a move-in-ready home: part of it is usable, but much of the 288 sqm needs renovation and the attic is effectively an unfinished rustic space.
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€57,000 – €101,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, especially in the large unfinished attic/storage areas.
- Interiors show damp staining, worn finishes, aging windows and dated systems.
- The property has only one bathroom and the photos do not confirm the condition of the roof, utilities or heating.
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.
