Although the 162 m² apartment is advertised at just €214/m² (€34,594 total), it is being sold through an enforcement proceeding, making it unsuitable for a normal purchase. The description states two bathrooms while the listing data records none, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 162 m² apartment with three bedrooms, balconies, a terrace, garage, and a well-maintained brick exterior in a leafy residential area near Modena. It looks like a real, potentially usable home rather than a ruin, but the lack of interior images and unknown condition prevent a stronger wow score.
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€32,000 – €57,000
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.
- Foreclosure procedure may involve occupancy, legal, timing, or access complications.
- The setting is a conventional suburban neighborhood with no scenic view or distinctive historic character visible.
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.
