See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property, not a normal direct sale, so it fails the catalog’s buyer-suitability threshold despite the €9,717 asking figure for 130 m². The listing also says the images are indicative rather than real property photos, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The headline price for a 130 sqm apartment is exceptionally low, creating strong bargain appeal. However, the actual property is visually unverified, and the generic images show neither a distinctive Italian setting nor reliably confirmed living conditions. It may be habitable, but the auction process and missing bathroom data make this more of a speculative bargain than a dream home.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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 images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase with potential legal, occupancy, debt, and access complications.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite calling the apartment habitable; verify the real floor plan and utilities.
- No distinctive view, outdoor space, or historic character is proven.
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.
