Why this price is what it is

At €63,112 plus an estimated €16,600 for basic habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €960/m², well above the local €636/m² benchmark. Heating and a kitchen are mentioned, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are or provide energy and construction details.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a clean, modern-looking apartment in a small residential development, with balconies, a fenced frontage, shared parking, and attractive olive-covered hills nearby. The listing says it is habitable and has independent heating and a kitchen, but the lack of interior or bathroom photos makes real livability difficult to confirm; visually, it is pleasant rather than characterful or exceptional.

Updating, not renovation
€17,000 – €24,000

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€6,000 – €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.

What worries us about this house
  • No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition and finishes cannot be verified.
  • The listing reports zero bathrooms, which may be missing data but must be clarified.
  • Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its surroundings.
  • Tribunal-auction purchase may involve legal, occupancy, or access complications.

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.
