See what needs doing and what each job costs
With an estimated renovation of €200/m² the effective cost is about €275k total, ≈€982/m², vs the regional median of €585/m² (≈68% above baseline). The property is a large central villa with many photos (53) but the listing omits condition, year and energy class, so the price appears high.
More on the house and the area
A solid, detached suburban villa with private courtyard, balcony and garage — the structure and original finishes are intact so it’s a very liveable shell. Rooms and period tiles are spacious but the whole house needs cosmetic updating and some exterior maintenance before it feels like a 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€18,000 – €31,000
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 interior and finishes — needs full modernization (kitchen, bathrooms, decor).
- Garden/driveway are overgrown and paved areas need repair; some external soffit/paint deterioration visible.
- Street‑facing location with limited privacy.
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.
