What it really costs

Can you move in?

Livable, but something basic is worn out

Why this price is what it is

Estimated renovation ~€200/m² gives an effective price of €88,000 (≈€2,200/m²) versus a regional median of €658/m² — a large premium. The property is small (40 m²), independent and 5 km from the sea, but the high €/m² makes this overpriced for the area.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A fully independent, move‑in one‑bedroom with pretty exposed brick details and a working fireplace — cozy and practical for a single/couple or as a rental. The interior is habitable but compact and shows cosmetic issues (ceiling panels, minor repairs) so expect light renovation to freshen it up.

Updating, not renovation
€8,000 – €11,000

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€3,000 – €4,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Very small apartment (40 m²) — tight rooms and limited storage
  • Ceiling shows peeling/damage and some cosmetic repairs needed
  • Street‑level location with limited visible outdoor space/parking

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.
