At €21,290 plus an estimated €24,000 of renovation, the effective cost is about €377/m²—roughly 13% below the local €432/m² reference. The house has heating, kitchen, fireplace, garage, cellar and furnishings, but the listing does not state its condition, bathrooms or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 120 m² independent home with two bedrooms, kitchen, heating, garage, cellar, balcony, and a private garden, so it appears to be a real usable house rather than a renovation shell. However, the 1970s residential setting offers little proven visual character or exceptional scenery, and the lack of actual property photos makes condition and beauty difficult to judge. The very low auction price is the main appeal, but it comes with meaningful due-diligence risk.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 gallery provides no clear interior or exterior property photos, so finish quality and visual appeal cannot be verified.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating and upgrade costs.
- This is an auction purchase; occupancy, access, debts, and final legal status require careful verification.
- The listing data is inconsistent about the bathrooms: the description says two, while the fact sheet reports none.
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.
