What it really costs

This is explicitly a judicial auction ("Data di asta", "Offerta minima", "Case all'Asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €307/m² versus a €405/m² baseline, auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a functional, lived-in townhouse rather than a dream-home scroll stopper. The exposed timber ceilings and fireplace add some warmth, and at the price per sqm it may feel like a bargain, but the setting appears ordinary and the interiors need clearing and refreshing to feel appealing. It seems usable rather than derelict, yet there is little visual beauty or atmosphere proven by the photos.
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 – €17,000
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.
- Very limited photo set; key rooms and bathroom are not properly shown.
- Looks habitable but dark and cluttered, so immediate cosmetic refresh is likely needed.
- Exterior/setting appears plain with no evident view, garden, or special location.
- Auction sale: practical/legal process and final costs need careful 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.
