See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€441/m²), the 170 m² independent home is 32% below the local €646/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €34,000 for unspecified updating brings the effective cost close to market level. The residential setting, terrace, garage and 34 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, independent home with attractive marble floors, a balcony, garage, and a practical layout, but it lacks the distinctive setting or character that creates a strong dream-home reaction. It looks basically habitable yet would need meaningful cosmetic renovation and modernization rather than being move-in ready.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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 home appears usable but dated, with visible peeling paint and damp-related wall damage.
- No kitchen is shown, and there is only one bathroom for approximately 170 sqm.
- The dense residential setting offers little visible scenery or private outdoor space; the advertised terrace is not shown.
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.
