In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction property, with a stated auction date of 10/12/2026 and a €47,000 minimum bid, so it fails the catalog’s eligibility rules despite appearing habitable. Including an estimated €200/m² for routine updates, the effective cost is about €766/m² versus €618/m² for comparable Veneto apartments.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, clearly habitable apartment with a usable terrace, garage, and small exclusive courtyard. However, it has little visual charm, no demonstrated scenic view, and fairly dated interiors, so it feels more like an affordable everyday home than a dream Italian property.
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and occupancy risks requiring verification.
- Dated 1965 interiors and finishes may need cosmetic updating.
- Energy class G suggests higher running costs; the listing’s bathroom count is inconsistent with the photos and description.
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.
