At €63,360 (€456/m²), the 139 m² townhouse is priced close to comparable local stock at €444/m², and the description presents a complete five-room dwelling. However, it is explicitly being sold through judicial enforcement proceedings, which makes it a trap for a normal home buyer.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-level townhouse with multiple balconies, a private courtyard, garage, and open green space beside it. The exterior appears solid and maintained, suggesting a realistic home rather than a renovation shell, but it has limited architectural character and no interior photos to confirm condition. At €63,360 for 139 sqm, the price is attractive, though the foreclosure process adds practical risk.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 and finishes are not shown, so livability cannot be fully verified.
- The property is in an execution/foreclosure procedure.
- This is a conventional suburban townhouse rather than a characterful historic Italian home.
- The listing facts conflict on bathroom count; the description states two bathrooms.
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.
