What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction listing ("data asta", "aste immobiliari"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €620/m² versus a €531/m² baseline and the home appears habitable, auction risk overrides deal value.
More on the house and the area
This is a modern, usable-looking hillside house with pleasant open views and a private outdoor area, so it has some real live-in appeal. The condition is mixed: structure, roof, windows, floors and bathroom fixtures are present, but the interiors feel bare and not truly move-in ready yet. Good value for the size in Tuscany, but the wow comes more from the setting than from character or finish.
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.
- Interiors look unfinished/empty and will need fitting out before comfortable living.
- Garden and exterior areas are overgrown and need cleanup.
- Some exterior staining and weathering are visible on walls and balcony edges.
- Auction sale: practical/legal process may be more complex than a normal purchase.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The area lies in the hills between the lower Arno plain and the Valdera, with mixed farmland, olive groves and wooded slopes. The nearest river landscape of note is the Arno plain to the north, while the coast around Tirrenia and Livorno is beyond the immediate 15 km radius. Lari has a substantial hilltop historic centre with a castle. Pontedera is the nearest larger town, with full services and rail links. The area is known for thermal waters at Casciana Terme and for the agricultural hill country of inland Pisa province.
