What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Independent 130 m² house at €45,000; estimated renovation €200/m² (€26,000) gives effective cost €71,000 → €546/m², ~21% above the Marche baseline €449/m². Listing shows 27 photos, is habitable and close to services, but the effective price makes this a fair (not a bargain) deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy three-level townhouse with high rooms, original terrazzo floors, a usable attic and a terrace — perfectly habitable now but stylistically stuck in the 1970s. Great value for 130 m² near town (and 18 km from the sea), ideal for someone wanting a liveable home that needs mainly cosmetic updating rather than a full renovation.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interiors are dated (kitchen and bathrooms from the 1970s) and will need modernization for contemporary comfort.
- Very narrow galley kitchen and small bathrooms limit layout options without work.
- Check heating/boiler age and condition of the attic/terrace (roofing/waterproofing) before purchase.
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.
