Effective price ≈ €78,400 (€72,000 + estimated renovation €6,400 at €100/m²) → €1,225/m², which is well above the Emilia Romagna median of €465/m²; the unit is habitable and lists recent bathroom, floors, heating and A/C work, but the asking price is more than double the local median so it reads as overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Light, move-in-ready townhouse with attractive exposed wooden beams, a modern fitted kitchen and a spacious loft bedroom — characterful and well renovated. The home is charming and practical, but its compact plan, spiral stairs and limited outdoor space may not suit everyone.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Compact 64 m² layout with small rooms
- Narrow spiral staircase and low sloping ceilings in the loft limit accessibility
- No private garden or notable views; close neighbouring buildings
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.
