This 137 m² apartment is advertised at €98,625 (€720/m²), but it is explicitly being sold through enforcement proceedings, making it unsuitable for a normal buyer seeking a straightforward purchase. The listing also conflicts with the stated bathroom count: the facts show none, while the description claims two.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, seemingly functional 137 m² apartment with multiple balconies, a small landscaped garden, garage and cellar. However, the building is a plain 1970s-style condominium with no notable historic character or special view, and the gallery provides no evidence of the interior. The low price is interesting, but the auction status and busy road make it more of a practical bargain than a dream-home opportunity.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the apartment’s actual finish and condition cannot be verified.
- The property is in an executive auction procedure; legal and occupancy checks are essential.
- Located directly along a busy arterial road, with likely traffic noise.
- Condominium maintenance and potential façade/balcony costs should be investigated.
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 area around
Location score 41/100This is in the built-up area of Reggio Emilia on the Po plain, with flat agricultural land and a dense network of roads, railways and suburban development around the city. 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. Reggio Emilia is a provincial capital with a large historic centre, services, rail links and the AV Mediopadana station. The area is known for Emilia’s agricultural plain, Parmigiano Reggiano and the broader food production of the province.
