In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated effective price (price + €150/m² renovation) = €67,400 → ~€1,205/m², roughly double the local median of €600/m², so this is expensive for the area. The house is habitable with a recently renewed roof and shutters and includes a small 300 m² garden and parking, but the large price premium keeps it from being a good value.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, habitable two‑storey borgo house with a cosy brick fireplace, wood‑panelled ceiling and a balcony that looks over green hills. Recent roof/shutter work and an included ~300 m² garden make it move‑in realistic; it’s charming and affordable but compact, with a small dated kitchen/bathroom and a narrow spiral staircase.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Small footprint (56 m²) and just 1 bedroom — limited space for larger households
- Parking is across the narrow road, not an enclosed private driveway
- Kitchen and bathroom look dated and the spiral stair is tight — some cosmetic updates likely
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.
