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 €90,000 for 180 m² with an estimated habitable-refit of €200/m² (€36,000) gives an effective price of €126,000 (≈€700/m²), well above the regional median of €459/m². The house is habitable, has 1,352 m² of land and many photos, but the resulting €/m² makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
A very charming stone town house with original beams, terracotta floors, arches and a working fireplace — the interiors look characterful and immediately liveable. Comes with substantial private land (1352 m²) and a very attractive price, though bathrooms/kitchen are basic and there are a few moisture/cosmetic issues to tidy up.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Some cosmetic wear and small damp patches visible in storage/near fireplace
- Kitchen and bathrooms are basic/dated and will need updating
- Upper attic/soffitta will require finishing to be fully habitable
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.
