As listed the price is €60,000 (≈€429/m²), below the Emilia‑Romagna median of ≈€465/m²; however assuming modest updates at €100/m² (property was renovated in 2008–09) the effective price is ~€74,000 (~€529/m²), which is above the regional median. Strong points: independent house, garage, taverna, AC and 7 photos suggest limited work, but the adjusted €/m² keeps this in the ‘fair’ value range.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 140 m² townhouse with garage and recent (2008–09) updates — you could move in and improve gradually. Rooms and finishes are modest and a cosmetic refresh would make this a comfortable family home, but it’s not a picture‑postcard property.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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 – €8,000
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.
- Plain, utilitarian exterior in a shared courtyard — not a scenic or historic setting
- Interior is dated and photographed cluttered; will need cosmetic refresh to feel cozy
- Outdoor space is small and cemented, not a garden
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.
