See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the advertised price is €39,000 (€180/m²) for a 217 m² habitable property, this listing is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction. Auction purchases involve a materially different legal and buying process, so it is not scored as a standard direct-sale home.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, potentially usable 217 sqm home at an exceptionally low price, with multiple living areas, two kitchens, a cellar, attic/storage spaces, and heating listed. However, the actual property’s beauty and condition cannot be judged from these generic photos, and there is no confirmed view, garden, or distinctive historic character.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 photos are indicative stock images, not photos of the actual property.
- The auction process requires careful verification of title, occupancy, condition, and actual utilities.
- Energy class G may mean high heating costs and improvement needs.
- No confirmed view, garden, exterior character, or authentic interior details are provided.
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.
