See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €85,000 (≈€459/m2) but described as needing renovation; estimated renovation €700/m2 → renovation ≈ €129,500 so effective ≈ €1,159/m2, about 2.7× the local median €425/m2, making it expensive to bring up to modern standards despite the large size and 80 m² outdoor area.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid three‑storey town house with practical room layout and balconies on the main street. Interiors are dated but largely intact and immediately usable after cosmetic updating; substantial 185 m² footprint and (per listing) an 80 m² external area give strong value and rental/guest-house potential.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €65,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs renovation — dated finishes, plumbing and visible damp/staining on lower walls.
- Fronts directly onto a main street (noise/privacy).
- Mansard/attic bedrooms likely have limited headroom — check usable floor area and compliance.
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.
