What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out

Asking €100,000 for 148 m² = €676/m²; estimated minor works €200/m² give an effective €129,600 total (~€876/m²) versus the regional median €407/m², so the price is well above market. Listing appears move-in ready with garage and 16 photos, but the energy class is missing from the the listing despite the description stating D.
More on the house and the area
Clean, ready-to-live 3‑storey townhouse with generous rooms, two bathrooms, large garage and attractive wood‑beamed bedrooms. Bright, photogenic exterior and balconies overlooking open fields give good light and a semi-rural feel — excellent square‑metre value, though outdoor space is limited and the home is spread over three levels.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- Three-level layout with internal stairs — not ideal for mobility issues
- No private garden; outdoor space limited to balconies
- Views are over fields and neighbouring roofs, not a dramatic panorama
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.
