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
After an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is €135,800 (≈€557/m²), well above the regional baseline of €407/m²; the property is large (244 m²) with a useful dependance but energy class G implies additional upgrades. At €87,000 this sits above local market norms, so it reads as overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, immediately-habitable town house with attractive exposed-beam ceilings, a large fireplace and a separate, charming taverna/dependance. Three private courtyards, a tiled driveway/carport and mature olive tree give rare outdoor privacy for a terraced property. Interiors are solid but a bit dated, so expect light modernization to make it truly special.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Cosmetic updates recommended — kitchens and bathrooms look dated.
- No scenic views; town setting (not a remote countryside/lakeside retreat).
- Energy class G — likely higher running costs and possible upgrade work.
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.
