What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €250,000 for 206 m² = €1,214/m². Assuming habitable condition (€200/m² renovation → effective €1,414/m²) vs local median €538/m² makes this well above market, so overpriced despite a central location and 32 photos.
More on the house and the area
A solid, move‑in ready semi‑detached house with a genuinely striking mid‑century spiral staircase and well‑preserved interior floors. Practical gated garden and separate garage make it a usable family home, though the decor, kitchen and bathrooms are dated and would benefit from updating.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 mid‑century finishes and fixtures will need modernizing
- Only two bathrooms for a large house (6 beds)
- Suburban location with no scenic views; garden is small and largely paved
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 53/100This is the western Emilia plain around Fidenza, with open agricultural land and the Stirone stream valley immediately nearby. The Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano lies at the edge of the town and follows the Stirone badlands and fossil-bearing gullies between Fidenza, Salsomaggiore and the surrounding countryside. The first Apennine hills begin just south toward Salsomaggiore Terme, but the main lived landscape within 15 km is still plain and low hills rather than mountain terrain. Fidenza is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre around its Romanesque cathedral on the Via Francigena, rail connections, and the usual services of a district town. Salsomaggiore Terme is close by and is known for its spa buildings and thermal waters. The area is known for mixed farming and for its position on the Via Francigena.
