See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing, and the apartment is occupied; auction purchases carry substantial legal, access, and handover risks. The description also says the images are only indicative and gives 76 m² versus the stated 60 m², while the effective cost is about €983/m² after an estimated €12,000 of work, above the local €616/m² benchmark.
More on the house and the area
The gallery mixes a generic modern apartment with visibly deteriorated interiors and exteriors, but none of it can be treated as proof of this property’s appearance. The €47,000 price is attractive for 60 sqm, yet the occupied auction status and lack of reliable real photos make this a speculative purchase rather than a clearly dream-worthy home.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the images are illustrative and not the real property photos.
- The apartment is occupied and being sold through a court auction.
- The actual condition, bathrooms, layout, utilities, and renovation needs are not reliably documented.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
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.
