In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€62,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² restoration (≈€46,200) gives an effective cost ≈€108,200 or ≈€2,576/m², well above the regional median of €709/m², so this looks overpriced. The description says “completamente da ristrutturare” while the listing also labels it habitable, and there is only 1 photo.
More on the house and the area
Plain, functional street-front town house with an unremarkable exterior and no scenic setting. Because the interior needs substantial renovation it’s a budget opportunity for an investor or someone ready to do a full remodel, not a move-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €25,000
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.
- Listing states the interior is completely to be renovated — likely a full refit needed.
- Very small (42 m²) with only a partial mezzanine, limited living space.
- Ground-floor onto the street with minimal privacy and no garden or views.
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.
