Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
EUR 69,000 for 89 m² (≈ EUR 775/m²) and with a modest assumed update (~EUR 200/m²) gives an effective cost of ≈ EUR 975/m², far above the local median of EUR 457/m². The listing does not state the overall condition (attic was finished ~20 years ago) — 27 photos are present but price is not competitive for the area.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, characterful town house with a large private courtyard and a very attractive, beamed attic room — great for a family or a holiday home. Rooms and systems look functional now but the flat needs cosmetic updating and some courtyard resurfacing; excellent value for Lombardy at this price.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Concrete courtyard surface is worn and cracked and would benefit from resurfacing.
- Interior decor and finishes are dated — mostly liveable but cosmetic updating likely needed.
- Property is in a tight courtyard/shared-buildings setting so privacy is limited.
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.
