Asking €178,000 (€890/m2); assuming modest works (~€200/m2 → +€40,000) gives an effective €218,000 or ~€1,090/m2, about 2.2× the local typical €493/m2. The listing has many photos and space for two units, but the condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
Well-presented, move-in-ready family house with attractive interior details (fireplace, arched openings, fitted kitchen) and good-sized private outdoor space including a large terrace and garden. The layout appears practical and habitable as-is, but it sits in a town location without dramatic views and the terrace needs some upkeep.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Town setting — no notable scenic (sea/lake/mountain) views
- Large rooftop terrace needs cleaning/maintenance
- Price is above the 15–100k 'bargain' tier many dreamers expect
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.
