Asking €150,000 for 225 m² but listed as “da ristrutturare”; estimated full renovation €700/m² → +€157,500, so effective price ≈€307,500 (≈€1,370/m²) versus local median €400/m². Good photos and central location, but the high effective €/m² makes this overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A handsome town-centre house with an attractive yellow façade and a private walled garden — very photogenic and full of character. The building has good bones and excellent size/price, but the interiors are largely to be renovated, so budget and planning for a full restoration are required to turn it into a liveable dream home.
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€45,000 – €79,000
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.
- Property is sold as a renovation: interiors are rough/partly stripped and not move-in ready
- Garden has makeshift structures and needs clearing/landscaping
- Verify permits/structural reports and costs for full refurb (kitchen, bathrooms, systems)
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.
The area around
Location score 37/100This is the central Po plain between Ferrara, Bologna and Modena, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Reno river runs nearby. Cento has a substantial historic centre with arcaded streets and civic buildings, and it is known for the painter Guercino and for its Carnival. Ferrara and Bologna are the nearest larger cities for higher-level services, rail links and airports, but they are outside the immediate landscape.
