Asking €160,000 with an estimated €50,000 of finishing work (€200/m²) gives an effective €210,000 = €840/m², about 21% above the regional baseline of €695/m²; partial 2022 works and many photos are positives but the effective price keeps this in the fair range.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived‑in two‑storey townhouse with a private gravel/paved courtyard and covered patio — a real family home with parking. Interiors are functional and move‑in usable but dated, so this is best for someone wanting a comfortable house that needs only cosmetic updating rather than a scenic or historic dream property.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 interior finishes — kitchen, bathrooms and floors will feel old-fashioned and may need updating.
- No scenic views; semi‑detached in a built-up area with neighbours close by.
- Exterior paint and external fixtures show wear and could use minor maintenance.
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 39/100This is the lower Romagna plain between Ravenna, Lugo and Faenza, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Lamone river passes by Bagnacavallo, and the Po Delta regional park area begins farther east toward Ravenna and the coast, outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Lugo is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a historic center with arcades and a fortress. Ravenna is the main nearby city for daily life, with major services and UNESCO monuments, but those monuments do not define the immediate surroundings here. The area is known for intensive farming and fruit growing on the plain.
