Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed the property is costly at €2,750/m² (€385,000 for 140 m²) and even with a modest €200/m² allowance for minor works the effective cost is ~€2,950/m² versus the local baseline of €761/m²; the listing does not state the condition, so the price appears a substantial premium for the catalog market despite good photos and a garage.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately-usable terraced house with useful outdoor space (resede carrabile, small garden/terrace) and a direct garage connection. Rooms are bright and the layout is practical, but the finishes are dated — light refurbishment would turn this into a comfortable family home rather than a dreamy, scenic retreat.
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.
- Interiors are dated and will benefit from modernization (tiles, kitchen, bathrooms).
- No notable views — overlooks a residential street and neighbouring houses.
- Front garden/driveway is pleasant but modest; privacy is limited.
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.
The area around
Location score 32/100The cluster lies in the Florence plain on the Bisenzio river, in a flat urbanised valley between Florence and Prato. Monte Morello rises nearby to the northeast and is the main relief within reach. The area is crossed by major roads, industrial estates and logistics zones linked to the Florence-Prato conurbation. Prato is the nearest larger town and Florence is immediately adjacent, with the full range of city services, rail links and airports in daily use. This part of the plain is known more for manufacturing, warehouses and transport infrastructure than for a distinct rural or natural landscape.
