What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low asking price. The €31,870 price also refers to a minimum bid on an 830 sqm lot with mixed buildings, missing real habitability details (0 baths, condition unknown, indicative images), so the apparent €38/sqm is not a reliable house bargain.
More on the house and the area
This does not read as a dream-home listing: there are no real photos proving beauty, character, or even the house’s current state. What is documented is mainly an 830 sqm buildable plot with a 5.5-room house in a peripheral urban area, so the appeal is more development potential than wow. The low price helps, but as a place you could confidently imagine living in, it remains very uncertain.
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€164,000 – €291,000
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 actual property photos are shown, only listing graphics and maps.
- Livability is unclear: facts show 0 bathrooms and no interior condition is documented.
- Peripheral urban setting; no proven view or character features.
- Three accessory buildings are not cadastrally registered, so legal/regularization checks are needed.
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.
