See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €50,400 price is below the local comparison level (€327/m² versus €664/m²), this property is being sold through a judicial auction, which carries significant legal, access, and bidding risks. The listing also states that the images are only indicative and not photos of the actual property.
More on the house and the area
This is a large 154 sqm, multi-level home with terraces, garage, cellar, and a potentially attractive price per square metre. However, the actual property’s appearance and condition cannot be judged from these images, and the listing offers no proven scenic or historic appeal, so it feels like a practical bargain rather than a dream-home find.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 states that the images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase requires legal, occupancy, debt, and condition checks before bidding.
- Energy class G; the listing's bath count is inconsistent with the description, which mentions two bathrooms.
- No verified view, historic character, or distinctive setting is shown.
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.
