At €1,090/m², the estimated effective cost is about €1,290/m² after a modest €200/m² allowance, versus a local benchmark near €500/m². The garden and two-bathroom layout are positives, but the listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, characterful Italian townhouse with exposed timber ceilings, warm terracotta floors, an attractive arched wooden door, and a fully fitted kitchen and bathrooms. The private garden and mature greenery add real lifestyle value, while the house appears move-in ready apart from likely cosmetic exterior work. At €85,000, it offers strong value, though it lacks a dramatic view or exceptional historic setting.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 property appears very livable, but the exterior shows some facade cracking and weathering.
- The covered carport and crowded open-plan ground floor reduce the visual sense of space.
- No energy rating, construction date, or detailed technical condition is provided.
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.
The area around
Location score 30/100The cluster sits on the Po Plain (Pianura Padana): flat land dominated by arable fields, orchards and an irrigation network. No named mountains, lakes or regional/national parks lie within about 15 km; the Apennines are farther south outside that radius. The nearest larger town within reach is Carpi, which provides a historic centre, shops, a railway station and wider municipal services. The provincial capital Modena lies beyond the 15 km radius and contains university facilities and the Motor Valley industry and museums. The local economy combines intensive agriculture with food-processing and a pattern of small manufacturing and logistics/industrial zones. The Mirandola area was significantly affected by the 2012 Emilia earthquakes and has seen rebuilding and reinforced construction in places. Transport is by regional roads and connections through nearby towns rather than by any mountain- or coastal-tourism infrastructure.
