This is a judicial auction property, so it is not a standard purchase and carries auction-specific legal and process risks. The advertised price is €51,667 (€671/m²), but the listing says the images are only indicative and does not provide the real property photos or complete due-diligence details.
More on the house and the area
The pictured apartment looks bright, modern, and comfortably livable, with a fitted kitchen, attractive bathroom, balcony, and good finishes. However, it is a fairly ordinary apartment without a proven view or special Italian character, and the advertised images cannot be relied upon as evidence of the actual condition.
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€5,000 – €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.
- The listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not the actual property images.
- Auction purchase introduces legal, procedural, and possible occupancy risks.
- Energy class G; no distinctive view, garden, or historic character 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.
