What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta', offerta minima €16,770), which is a veto red flag under the rules regardless of the apparent discount. The description suggests a basically habitable 75 sqm house, but auction risk dominates, so the listing is scored as a trap.
More on the house and the area
The description suggests a genuinely usable historic-town house, with vaulted ceilings, connected utilities, heating, bathroom and finished floors rather than a shell. Its main charm is the old Puglian character inside, but without real photos there is no proof of beauty, exterior appeal or atmosphere. At the price, it looks potentially appealing as a livable budget home more than a true scroll-stopping dream property.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 actual property photos are shown, so visual appeal is unproven.
- Auction sale: legal/procedural due diligence is essential.
- Outdoor space appears to be a small paved rear courtyard rather than a lush garden.
- No verified view or striking exterior from the provided material.
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.
