What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

This is explicitly an judicial auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the nominal €438/m² ask. The home is described as habitable, so I used about €200/m² renovation, but the auction status dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: large, roofed, with finished rooms, kitchen, garage and outdoor space. The rural hillside setting and olive-green surroundings add some appeal, but the architecture is plain and the interiors feel dated and crowded rather than dream-home beautiful. Good value for the size, though the wow comes more from practicality than romance.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 is functional rather than beautiful, with a dated 1980s look.
- Interiors appear cluttered and will need clearing and likely cosmetic updating.
- Auction sale with documentation/occupancy checks needed.
- Rural roadside setting; privacy and access quality should be verified.
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.
