In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 191 m² central townhouse at €65,000 but needs modernization (estimated €200/m² → €38,200), so effective price ≈ €103,200 or ~€540/m², about 23% above the local median of €438/m²; central location and 31 photos are positives, but after renovation the unit prices above typical local stock.
More on the house and the area
Large, centrally located townhouse with high ceilings, original terrazzo/marble floors, chandeliers and balconies/terraces on every level — characterful and genuinely liveable today. The layout and solid condition make it an excellent value, but expect cosmetic and systems upgrades to create a modern 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€13,000 – €21,000
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 habitable but noticeably dated — needs renovation/modernization (kitchen finishes, surfaces, decor).
- Kitchen plumbing/electrics partly exposed; bathrooms are small and basic and may need updating.
- Street‑front location with cars and limited privacy/possible noise; check parking options.
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.
