What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly a judicial auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the asking price is €65,286 for 170 sqm (€384/sqm), auction status overrides price comparisons and makes it a trap under the scoring rules.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: multiple finished levels, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, terraces and a cellar/fireplace space are all visible. The best wow comes from the open hillside outlook and some distant valley views, plus the sheer amount of house for the price. Aesthetically it feels ordinary-modern rather than dream-Italian, so the appeal is more practical bargain than romantic beauty.
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 – €19,000
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.
- Modern suburban exterior with limited character
- Interiors are livable but dated and visually cluttered
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy status need checking
- Setting appears near a road/light commercial area rather than a postcard village
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.
