The asking price is exceptionally low at €208/m², about 73% below the local benchmark, with autonomous heating, garage and cellar. However, the listing does not state the condition or bathrooms; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost near €908/m², so the bargain requires careful inspection.
More on the house and the area
The apartment has a polished, highly finished interior with a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, quality flooring, and distinctive contemporary styling. At 133 sqm for €27,675, it is an exceptional apparent bargain and looks immediately usable, though it lacks the historic character or private outdoor setting that would make it a true dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €47,000
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 apartment appears fully renovated, but the listing facts are incomplete and even report zero bathrooms despite the photographed bathroom.
- No private outdoor space or clear apartment-specific view is shown.
- The very low price should prompt checks on auction status, condominium costs, title, and location details.],

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.
