Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €443/m² before works, this central palazzo is already about 2.7 times the local €167/m² benchmark; assuming substantial renovation, the effective cost could exceed €1,100/m². The ground floor is commercial, while the residential layout and actual condition are not clearly documented, and the stated room count is inconsistent with the description.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real three-level town building in the central piazza, with balconies, a church setting, original terrazzo floors, and a distinctive old-fashioned atmosphere. The living spaces appear occupied and functional rather than ruined, but they are dated and would need a serious refresh to become an appealing dream home. Its strongest attraction is the unusually low price for 169 sqm and the potential to combine a home with a shop or rental 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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but very dated, cluttered, and likely need substantial cosmetic modernization.
- The building combines a ground-floor commercial space with residential floors, so conversion or rental plans may require checking permits and zoning.
- Exterior façades, balconies, and some ceilings show visible age and maintenance needs.
- It sits directly in a central town street, with no private garden or meaningful outdoor space 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.
