Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
273 m² townhouse listed at €255,000 (≈€934/m²) vs regional median €538/m²; the ground-floor includes a >100 m² deposito that will likely need conversion. Assuming light works (~€200/m² ≈ €54.6k) gives an effective price of ≈€1,135/m², so this is overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid townhouse with lots of usable space and attractive vintage character — polished terrazzo floors, a tiled fireplace and bright rooms make it immediately liveable. Mostly move-in but best as a lightly refreshed home rather than a turnkey contemporary conversion; no garden and only street views.
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 – €30,000
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 — cosmetic updating/modernisation likely needed
- No private garden shown, only a narrow street-facing balcony
- Street-level / town views only, not scenic
- Four-level layout with many stairs (accessibility considerations)
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.
