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
Asking €72,000 for 160 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (€32,000) gives an effective €104,000 or ~€650/m², well above the regional baseline of €435/m². Good terrace and 5 km from the sea are positives, but the effective price is ~50% higher than similar stock, so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, habitable town house with high ceilings, marble stairway and a generous ~36 m² roof terrace with hill views — very useful outdoor space. The layout is liveable now but fixtures, bathrooms and some plasterwork are dated; a modest cosmetic renovation would make this a comfortable, good-value 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€11,000 – €18,000
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 and bathrooms are dated and will need updating.
- Some plaster peeling/damp visible in corners — check for moisture issues.
- Upper floors accessed only by stairs (no lift) and terrace needs cleaning/repairs.
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.
