The listing is explicitly an "ASTA IMMOBILIARE" (judicial auction), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the very low ask of €30,961 (€172/m² vs €259/m² baseline). Condition is marked habitable, but auction uncertainty dominates the assessment.
More on the house and the area
This has a genuinely rural setting, some open hillside views and the feel of a real standalone country house rather than a ruin. The key positive is condition: it is roofed, substantial and partly habitable upstairs, but much of the building is rough, unfinished-looking or used as storage, so it still needs meaningful work to become an appealing home. At the price, the size gives it some bargain pull, but the wow is moderate rather than dream-home level.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Auction sale: due diligence on legal status and occupancy is essential.
- Upper floor looks habitable, but large ground-floor areas are rough and utility/storage-like.
- Exterior and terrace need refresh; overall finish is plain rather than beautiful.
- Bathrooms/kitchen appear basic and dated.
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.
