What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,350, the habitable 114 m² apartment is listed at €249/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates gives an effective cost of about €449/m², around 20% below the local comparison level of €559/m². Independent heating and five photos support the listing, though the description does not state the bathroom count, energy class, or building year.
More on the house and the area
At €28,350 for a reported 114 m² in Treia’s historic center, this has strong bargain potential, and the indicative images suggest a modern, usable apartment. However, the actual property’s appearance and condition are unverified, while the building exterior shown is ordinary and offers no proven view, garden, or distinctive 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€8,000 – €13,000
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 photos are indicative and not actual images of the property.
- The apartment is being sold through a court auction, so access, legal status, occupancy, and final costs require verification.
- No bathroom count is provided in the facts, despite the apartment being described as habitable.
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.
