Asking €139,000 for 150 m2 is €927/m2; with a conservative €200/m2 refit (~€30,000) the effective price is €1,127/m2, well above the Tuscany town baseline of €667/m2. The listing does not state the property condition, which limits confidence in the valuation.
More on the house and the area
A solid, centrally located Tuscan terraced house with attractive original beamed ceilings upstairs and a private walled courtyard with an olive tree — genuinely liveable spaces (kitchen works, bedrooms are charming). Ground‑floor rooms show damp/damaged plaster and parts of the house are dated, so expect moderate repair and cosmetic work. Good square‑metre value for the area and well suited to someone who wants a character home they can improve.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Visible rising damp and peeling plaster on ground‑floor walls — will need remediation.
- Several rooms are dated and require cosmetic renovation (floors, finishes, lighting).
- Small courtyard is overgrown and needs clearing/landscaping.
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.
