Asking €160,000 (€800/m2); estimated refurbishment €200/m2 → effective €200,000 total (≈€1,000/m2) vs regional median €660/m2, so it sits well above local typical prices. Positive: ground-floor apartment with garden and garage very near town center; the listing does not state the property’s condition or energy class.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, characterful ground‑floor apartment in a bifamiliare with high ceilings, original terrazzo/tiles, an incredible curved sunroom and mature private garden — it feels like a proper lived‑in Tuscan home. The interior is largely intact and move‑inable, though the kitchen is dated and there’s only one bathroom for a large layout, so minor to moderate upgrades would make it perfect.
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 – €22,000
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.
- Only one full bathroom for a large 5‑bed layout.
- Kitchen and some finishes are dated and will need updating to modern standards.
- Energy performance/insulation and building age not provided — likely needs efficiency upgrades.
- Ground‑floor position faces the street (garden buffer exists) — check privacy/noise on site visit.
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.
