What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €22,875 (€341/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €541/m² after modest habitable-home costs, close to the local comparison level of €559/m². The listing mentions autonomous heating but provides little detail and does not state the bathroom situation, so the apparent discount is limited by sparse information.
More on the house and the area
The price is exceptionally low for a 67 sqm apartment, and the stated condition is habitable after a 2006 renovation. However, the attractive modern interiors are explicitly not the real property photos, while the actual exterior shown is a plain apartment block with no demonstrated view or historic character.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the interior images are indicative and not photos of the actual apartment.
- This is an auction purchase, with additional legal, procedural, and inspection risks.
- Actual condition, layout, bathroom provision, and finishes must be verified; the facts list zero bathrooms despite the illustrative bathroom image.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
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.
