This is explicitly an auction listing ("acquisto in asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the ask is only €228/m² versus a €469/m² baseline, the building is described as vetusto with one unit inagibile, so real renovation is substantial and the auction nature dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, substantial rural-edge property with some courtyard space and open agricultural surroundings, but the visuals are functional rather than dreamy. The main building looks structurally standing and roofed, yet clearly dated, and the listing says one apartment is uninhabitable. It feels more like a practical renovation/auction opportunity than an immediate Italian-home fantasy.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€57,000 – €100,000
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.
- Exterior looks plain and somewhat tired rather than picturesque.
- Only one unit is described as habitable; the first-floor apartment is inagibile.
- Outbuildings/garages appear worn and may need repair.
- Auction sale with due-diligence and legal checks 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.
