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 €85,000 for 90 m² is €944/m², and estimated effective cost after modest works is €103,000 (≈€1,144/m²) versus the local baseline of €658/m² (≈74% higher). The house is habitable with renovated exterior and 12 photos, but the effective price is well above the Toscana median for similar homes.
More on the house and the area
Attractive three-storey stone terratetto right on a historical piazza with a small balcony and green hill/bridge views; the roof and façade are already redone. The interior is basic but habitable — a solid, low-cost home that becomes a lovely liveable house after modest cosmetic work.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating (kitchen, bathroom, floors).
- Only one bathroom and compact room layout for a 90 m² house.
- No private garden — just a small 5 m² balcony overlooking the piazza.
- Ground-floor cellar/garage looks unfinished and possibly damp.
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.
