At €499,000 (≈€2,495/m²) this is about 4.6× the regional median of €538/m²; even adding a €200/m² refresh (~€40k) the effective price is ≈€2,695/m², so it looks significantly overpriced. The listing does not state the condition and includes only 1 photo, which weakens the claim of a 'splendid' property.
More on the house and the area
Well-kept late‑20th‑century brick townhouse with a tidy private front garden and balconies — immediately liveable and family-friendly. Not a dramatic historic or scenic property, but attractive, practical and move‑in ready.
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.
- Suburban/terraced townhouse — no sweeping views
- Only exterior photo shown, interior condition not visible
- Relatively high price for a standard modern townhouse
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 30/100The cluster sits on the Po Plain (Pianura Padana); the terrain within about 15 km is flat and intensively farmed (arable crops, orchards, irrigation and drainage infrastructure). No named mountain range, notable lake or regional/national park lies inside a 15 km radius. The area is crossed by the main transport corridor between Modena and Bologna: regional roads, the Bologna–Modena rail axis and the A1 autostrada are all close by, giving direct links to larger cities and the national motorway network. The nearest major urban centres are Modena and Bologna, which provide hospitals, universities, larger commercial services and rail/air connections. Land use within reach includes small towns, industrial and logistics zones as well as agricultural land. The wider Modena area is known for food-production specialities (traditional balsamic vinegar, dairy and cured-produce regions) and for automotive and light-industrial clusters; those economic activities shape local employment and logistics.
