What it really costs

Why this price is what it is

Listed at €82,000 (739 €/m²) but described as “in condizioni da rivedere”; estimated renovation €700/m² → renovation ≈ €77,700 so effective price ≈ €159,700 (~1,439 €/m²), well above the Emilia‑Romagna baseline of €695/ m², making this an overpriced renovation project.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A solid, full‑size townhome (111 m²) that is genuinely liveable now — it has a kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms and a balcony — but the interiors are dated and need renovation. Good value for the region if you want a straightforward upgrade project rather than a move‑in showcase.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€39,000 – €56,000

Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.

€67,000 – €100,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Full€1,200–1,500/m²
€133,000 – €167,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000

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
  • Interior and exterior described as 'da rivedere' — cosmetic and system updates likely (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes).
  • Bathroom is very small and dated; kitchen is basic and would need refit.
  • No standout views, historic features or private outdoor space beyond a small balcony.

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 58/100

This is the first hilly belt south of Piacenza, between the lower Val Nure and the edge of the Val Trebbia system, with mixed farmland, small woods and ridgelines of the northern Apennine foothills. The Nure valley lies within the area. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The wider area is known for vineyards and wine production on the Colli Piacentini.
