€80,000 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (150 m² → €30,000) gives an effective price of €110,000 or ~€733/m², well above the regional median of €465/m². The apartment is habitable, furnished and includes garage and cellar, but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced/weak listing.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, immediately habitable 1980s apartment with its own garage, cellar and a paved courtyard plus small garden — solid, practical and excellent value for €80k. The house is comfortable but plainly finished and would benefit from cosmetic modernization to feel more contemporary.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Dated 1980s interiors and finishes — cosmetic updating likely needed
- Only one bathroom for the 150 m² layout
- Apartment reached by external stairs; courtyard/garden is currently communal and may need legal subdivision for full privacy
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.
