Assuming modest works at €200/m² gives an effective price of about €69k (≈€690/m²), well above the regional median of ≈€465/m². The unit is habitable, has garage and small exclusive garden and 20 km to the coast, but the effective €/m² makes this pricey for Emilia-Romagna.
More on the house and the area
A solid, fully independent townhouse that is clearly habitable today with heating, AC and an 18 m² garage. Interiors are simple and dated but liveable, while the riverside/green setting and very low price make this a strong value for someone wanting a ready home to upgrade.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Single small bathroom (no window) — one bath only.
- Interior is dated and would benefit from modernization (kitchen, finishes).
- Rear garden is communal but for exclusive use; proximity to the river could mean flood/groundwater considerations.
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.
