At €90,000 (€763/m²), this 118 m² apartment is priced below the local €854/m² reference and appears to include a garage, cellar, balcony, and large terrace. However, the listing explicitly states that it is part of an enforcement proceeding (judicial auction), which makes it a veto-risk property for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, fairly spacious apartment in a clean residential complex, with balconies, a large terrace, garage, and cellar. However, the architecture is ordinary and there are no proven interior or scenic features to create a strong dream-home appeal. It may be usable, but the missing interior evidence and foreclosure status keep the score modest.
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.
- No interior photos, so the actual finish and livability cannot be verified.
- The property is being sold through an enforcement/foreclosure procedure.
- Exterior condition appears serviceable but details such as maintenance, utilities, and condominium costs are unknown.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite the description stating two; this should be checked carefully.
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 the Po plain between Reggio Emilia and Parma, with flat to gently rolling farm country around the built-up area. The Enza river runs nearby and marks the provincial boundary. Reggio Emilia is the nearest larger town and has the main services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. Parma is also close enough to matter for daily life and adds a larger city centre, station and airport. The area is known for dairy farming and Parmigiano Reggiano production.
