See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,954 for 144 m² (€229/m²), the price is very low, but this is a judicial auction and the property is occupied by the debtor. The listing also uses indicative rather than real photos and conflicts on the energy class (G versus F), adding execution and verification risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 144 sqm habitable apartment with two balconies, two bathrooms, heating, and a large garage, but the gallery provides no reliable evidence of its real appearance. The interiors shown are generic and polished rather than distinctly Italian, with no proven view, garden, historic character, or standout setting. It is a potentially useful bargain home, but not a visually compelling dream property based on the available evidence.
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 – €16,000
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 states that all photos are illustrative and do not represent the actual property.
- The apartment is occupied and has building/planning discrepancies requiring regularization.
- Auction purchase, energy class F/G, and garage partition issues add practical complexity.
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.
