See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even aside from that, at €62,636 for 72 sqm plus ~€200/sqm habitable works, the effective cost is about €1,070/sqm versus a €382/sqm baseline, so it is not a discount buy.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a shell: finished rooms, kitchen, bathroom and a decent exterior are all visible. The villa-style building and stone details give it some appeal, with a bit of outdoor space and terrace potential, but there are no standout views or strong historic features. Overall it feels habitable and practical, yet more suburban-functional than dreamily beautiful.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interior looks dated and somewhat dark rather than stylish.
- Auction sale and 'in corso di sanatoria' create legal/regularization risk.
- Photos suggest shared access/courtyard in a trifamily building, so privacy may be limited.
- Bathroom count in facts is unclear despite at least one bathroom shown.
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.
