In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective cost ~€105,000 (≈€750/m²) after an estimated €200/m² work, well above the regional median of €459/m²; ground floor is habitable but the first floor "needs sistemazione". Positive features (private garden/court, cellar, fireplace, 14 photos) help, but the effective €/m² makes this a weak/overpriced offer.
More on the house and the area
A very liveable, characterful townhouse — exposed beams, a cosy fitted ground‑floor living area and a private courtyard/garden give real Italian-home charm. The house is habitable now but the first floor and the open barn need work, so it’s a strong-value buy for someone willing to finish the upper level.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- First floor needs renovation / some rooms look unfinished or cluttered
- Only one bathroom for a 4‑bed layout
- Open barn/upper structure in courtyard appears in need of repair
- Courtyard has cracked/uneven paving and standing water in places
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.
