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 a veto red flag and forces a trap verdict despite the large 263 sqm house and central historic-center location. The text suggests decent/habitable condition with systems redone in 2002-2003, so renovation is modest at about €200/m², but the auction status dominates.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a project: finished, furnished, heated and apparently maintained, with generous space over four levels. The nicest wow comes from the brick-vaulted basement room and the timber roof structure upstairs, plus the private courtyard/garden. But the overall feel is more solid and cozy than dreamily beautiful, with dated interiors and no proven scenic outlook.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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 real view or standout setting shown
- Interiors are dated and quite dark despite being fully usable
- Auction sale: practical/legal process needs checking
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.
