What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('Data di asta', 'Offerta minima', 'Procedura'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €372/m² vs a €406/m² baseline and the house appears habitable, auction risk makes it a trap under the scoring rules.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical detached house with a decent private garden and a very low price per square metre, but it is not especially beautiful or atmospheric. The photos show a real habitable home with kitchen, bathroom, radiators and finished rooms, yet it feels tired, dark and in need of a full refresh rather than dream-home ready. Overall, it is more functional bargain than wow 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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- 1970s house with little architectural character or view
- Interiors look dated, dark and likely need significant cosmetic updating
- Garden is sizable but overgrown and will need clearing
- Auction sale may involve extra procedural/legal complexity
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.
