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
Adding an estimated €200/m² repair cost (150 m²) brings the total to ~€100,000 — about €667/m² versus the regional median €425/m², so this is a fair-value listing. The house is largely habitable with roof/windows/systems reported new and 16 photos, but ground‑floor plaster dampness needs repair.
More on the house and the area
Charming, characterful townhouse with original beams, brick arches and stone/terracotta floors plus a large terrace and garage — clearly restored but still full of historic appeal. The roof, gutters, windows and systems are reported new so it’s a real, liveable home, although ground-floor plastering and the attic need finishing. Excellent value for 150 m² in a notable Lombardy town.
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 – €17,000
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.
- Signs of rising damp / plaster damage at ground floor — needs replastering.
- Soffitta/attic is partially unfinished and will require work to convert.
- Corner on a street — potential traffic noise and limited privacy.
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.
