What it really costs

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This listing is explicitly a judicial auction ("asta immobiliare"), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. It is also described as "grezzo avanzato" rather than truly habitable, implying substantial completion costs despite the low asking price of €71,719 for 197 sqm.
More on the house and the area
This is a large modern villa with decent volume and a small private outdoor area, but it has little visual romance or standout setting. The real issue is condition: the house appears unfinished inside, with bare rooms and incomplete services, so it is a project rather than a ready home. The low price per square metre helps, but the dream factor is modest.
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€39,000 – €69,000
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.
- Advanced shell condition (grezzo avanzato), not move-in ready
- No finished bathroom or kitchen visible
- Interiors need full completion and fit-out
- Suburban setting with limited charm or views
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
