Asking €90,000 with estimated renovation €33,000 (≈€200/m²) gives an effective €123,000 — about €745/m² vs local median €349/m², so this is well above typical stock; the listing has been online 260 days (stale). The central historic location, large terrace and double garage are positives but do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, solid semi‑detached town house in the historic centre with high ceilings, original period details and a very large covered terrace plus double garage and cellar. It’s habitable now but visibly dated — a good-value, liveable home that rewards modest-to-medium renovations.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interior is dated and needs comprehensive cosmetic renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, floors, plaster/paint).
- Terrace and exterior paint show wear and will need repair/refurbishment.
- Central location with no private garden; street-facing exposure may mean traffic/noise.
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.
