What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so it is a judicial auction and fails the catalog veto rules regardless of the low asking price. Although the nominal price is €584/m² for 165 m², auction risk makes this unsuitable for standard foreign-buyer deal scoring.
More on the house and the area
This is a usable, real house rather than a shell: there are bedrooms, a kitchen, a shower room and finished floors/ceilings. But the photos show little beauty or scenery, and the overall feel is plain, dated and only mildly charming. The low price for 165 sqm helps, yet the dream factor is modest.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Limited exterior/setting photos, so no proven view or curb appeal.
- Interiors look habitable but dated and somewhat dark.
- Courtyard/outdoor areas appear unfinished or rough in places.
- Auction sale: check legal/occupancy status and full tribunal documents.
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.
