In the listingRenovated- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto. The listing also contradicts the the listing 'Renovated' label: the text says the habitable part has poor conditions, no heating and obsolete systems, while large portions are F/2 collabenti with dangerous/collapsed sections; at €37,650 for 704 sqm, the low price reflects severe structural issues, not a bargain livable home.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric 18th-century rural corte, with a beautiful timeworn façade, arched cellar/stable spaces, beams and fireplace. But it is not a ready dream home: only a portion appears basically usable, while much of the 704 sqm complex is in poor to collapsing condition and needs major restoration. The wow comes from character and scale more than comfort.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€279,000 – €412,000
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.
- Only part of the complex looks habitable; large sections are collabente/pericolanti or partly collapsed.
- No bathroom is shown and the listing states no heating with very outdated systems.
- Historic-protection constraints can make restoration slower and more expensive.
- Flood/PAI fascia C and rural restoration complexity need careful technical due diligence.
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.
