See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing, explicitly referencing the Tribunale and “all’asta,” so it falls into the highest-risk category regardless of the €63,112 asking price. The 79 m² apartment is described as habitable, but the listing warns that its images are only indicative and not real property photos.
More on the house and the area
The pictured apartment appears bright, freshly renovated, and genuinely livable, with polished floors, a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, and access to a large terrace. The interiors are attractive but fairly generic, and there is no confirmed panoramic view or private land. Because the listing warns that all images are non-representative, the real home's beauty and condition remain unverified.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and procedural risks.
- The listing explicitly states that the images are indicative and not the actual property photos.
- Energy class G; verify utilities, condominium costs, terrace access, and the real condition before bidding.
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.
