What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

Asking €99,000 plus an estimated €20,000 (habitable → €200/m²) gives an effective €119,000 total or €1,190/m², well above the Piemonte baseline of €350/m²; the house appears habitable with many photos but is priced high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable courtyard townhouse split into a trilocale + bilocale that gives real flexibility (and includes a garage and balconies). The bones are fine and it’s move-inable, but the interior is visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to make it a bright, comfortable home.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dated finishes and fixtures — kitchen and bathroom clearly need modernization.
- Rooms are compact and the layout is narrow in places (long kitchen, small bedrooms).
- Facing an internal courtyard only — no scenic views, shared access/courtyard may mean less 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.
