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 €34,650 (€204/m²), estimated all-in cost is about €68,650, or €404/m²—roughly 28% below comparable Marche apartments. The home is described as habitable with autonomous heating, but the listing is very sparse and does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
At €34,650 for 170 sqm, this is an exceptional space-for-price proposition, and the indicative interiors suggest a bright, recently refreshed apartment with good usable proportions. However, it lacks a proven view, garden, or distinctive historic character, and the photos are explicitly not of the actual home, so the livability and finish cannot be trusted without a viewing.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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 images are indicative and not the actual property photos.
- This is a court auction purchase, so legal, occupancy, and access details require careful verification.
- The apartment appears bright and renovated in the images, but the real fixtures, kitchen, and condition are unconfirmed.
- Energy class G may imply higher 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.
