In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
With estimated works ≈€15,600 the effective cost is about €1,470/m² (price €99k), far above the local median of ≈€409/m², so it’s priced steeply for the area. The house is described as habitable, has garage/cantina and a convertible fienile and 25 photos support the condition, but the high effective price keeps this in the overpriced range.
More on the house and the area
Sunny, genuinely habitable terraced townhouse with a pleasant, well-equipped kitchen, a recently renovated bathroom, garage, cellar and a private courtyard/orto — ready to live in without major work. The house has warm, vintage interiors (1970s tiles and woodwork) and plenty of practical space, but it lacks scenic views and will benefit from cosmetic modernising to suit contemporary tastes.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Dated 1970s finishes (tiles, joinery) — cosmetic updating likely desired
- Small private courtyard/orto rather than a large garden
- Plain street-facing façade / modest curb appeal
- Only one bathroom
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.
