In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €85,000 for 252 m² equals €337/m² but estimated renovation (€200/m²) raises the effective cost to about €537/m², which is above the local median of €438/m². The house is habitable, has heating, a garden and good photos, yet the renovation uplift makes it a middling deal rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A large, habitable town house with real usable space — three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies and a pleasant private garden. The layout and solid condition mean you could live in it now, but the interior finishes are dated and would reward a cosmetic refresh to make it a true dream home.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Interiors are dated (1980s–90s finishes) and would benefit from modernization.
- Some rooms appear dark or small — check natural light in livable areas.
- No clear photos of a fitted kitchen; verify utilities and heating system condition.
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.
