At €1,950/m² before any renovation, this is roughly 2.5 times the €767/m² local benchmark, making it expensive even with autonomous heating, garage and cellar. The listing does not state the condition, and the 40 m² size conflicts with the claims of five rooms and seven locali.
More on the house and the area
This is a small, ordinary apartment in an urban residential area, with no visible character, garden, distinctive setting, or proven view. A garage, cellar, kitchen, and heating are useful, but the lack of property photos and the unclear 40 m²/7-room layout make livability difficult to assess.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- No interior or exterior property photos are provided, so beauty and actual condition cannot be verified.
- The listing reports 40 m² but also 7 rooms, which is unusually constrained and should be checked carefully.
- Bathroom count and installation details are unclear; auction documentation and an in-person inspection are essential.
- This is a judicial auction, with potential legal, occupancy, and condition risks.
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.
