The listing is explicitly an immobiliare auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low €358/m² ask. Described as habitable, so I’d assume about €200/m² renovation if it were a normal sale, but the auction status drives the score into trap territory.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizeable detached house with some private outdoor space and a low price per square metre, but it does not deliver much visual romance. The structure appears complete and roofed, so it is more house than ruin, yet it looks long-neglected and would need significant cleaning, updating and likely repairs before feeling truly livable. Overall it reads as practical value rather than a dream Italian home.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Exterior and balconies look neglected, with heavy overgrowth and visible weathering.
- Interiors shown are sparse and dated; no finished bathroom is visible in the photos.
- Auction sale: legal/documentation checks are especially important.
- Setting is roadside/residential rather than scenic or distinctive.
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.
