Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction

Despite the €64,500 asking price for 93 m² (€694/m²), the listing explicitly states that the apartment is being sold through enforcement proceedings (procedura esecutiva no. 218/2024). This is a judicial auction and should be treated as a high-risk purchase rather than a normal residential deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid-looking red-brick apartment block surrounded by mature communal greenery, offered at a very low price with a garage and cellar. However, the exterior is ordinary, there are no views or distinctive historic features, and the lack of interior photos makes the apartment’s real condition impossible to judge.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interior condition is not shown, so actual livability and renovation needs are uncertain.
- This is an apartment in a fairly plain 1970s-era condominium, with no private garden or notable view.
- The sale is through an enforcement procedure, which can involve legal, timing, and financing complications.
- The facts list zero bathrooms, while the description says there is one; this should be verified.
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.

The Crostolo runs through the city and the Secchia is to the east. The nearest mountains are the northern Apennine foothills south of the city, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape.

The area is known for Emilia’s agricultural plain, Parmigiano Reggiano and the broader food production of the province.
