This is explicitly an auction listing ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of price. Even though the ask is low at €437/m2 versus a €556/m2 baseline, auction risk makes it unsuitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: the rooms, kitchen and bathrooms are in place and it looks basically habitable. But the beauty factor is modest—the setting is plain countryside, the house has little character, and the neglected pool drags the dream factor down. At €55k for 126 sqm it has some bargain appeal, but it feels more practical fixer-upper than wow 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€8,000 – €14,000
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 looks tired and dated, with visible wear to facades and outdoor areas.
- The swimming pool appears abandoned and likely needs major restoration.
- Interiors are habitable but very basic and old-fashioned rather than charming.
- This is an auction property, so documentation and exact condition should be checked carefully.
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.
