What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €54,000 for 65 m² but the property is described as 'da ristrutturare' so I estimate €700/m² in renovation (€45,500), giving an effective cost ≈ €99,500 (~€1,531/m²) which is far above the local median €435/m². Its 1 km from the sea is positive, but the high renovation need makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
A plain, solid-feeling first-floor apartment with original terrazzo floors and good light but no attractive historic details or views. The photos show clear water damage and worn finishes — this is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Visible ceiling and wall water damage with cracking and peeling plaster
- No kitchen/bathroom fittings shown — likely requires new plumbing and utilities
- Entire interior needs renovation and deep cleaning (possible damp/mould)
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.
