The €48,515 asking price (€495/m²) is well below the €854/m² local benchmark, but this property is explicitly being sold through an enforcement proceeding, making it a high-risk auction purchase. The listing also gives no condition or renovation details and conflicts with the stated bathroom count.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful, practical-looking three-level house with pastel façades, balconies, awnings, and a compact planted garden. It appears to be a real usable home rather than a shell, but the exterior is ordinary suburban housing and there is no scenic view or distinctive historic character; interior condition remains unverified.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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 actual livability is uncertain.
- The listing is an execution/foreclosure sale, requiring careful legal and procedural checks.
- The home fronts a fairly busy-looking public road and the listing data conflicts on the number of 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.
The area around
Location score 39/100This is the flat Po plain north-west of Bologna, in a landscape of fields, drainage canals and scattered hamlets. The Reno runs a few kilometres to the west, and the area also lies between smaller plain-watercourse systems linked to the Samoggia and Lavino. Bologna is the nearest major city, with the full services, rail connections and historic centre of a regional capital. The wider area is known for intensive agriculture and for its position in the plain between Bologna and the lower Reno basin.
