See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly an 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE' (judicial auction), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low asking price. While 342 €/m2 is below the 425 €/m2 baseline and the house is described as habitable, auction risk dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a large detached house with a decent private plot, so it has real practical liveability and good value for the size. But the photos show a very ordinary exterior and heavily dated interiors rather than charm or beauty. It looks habitable, not a shell, yet it would need substantial refreshing before feeling like a dream 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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Plain suburban/peripheral setting with no view
- Interiors are dated and cluttered, needing significant cosmetic updating
- Bathroom appears worn and may need full refurbishment
- Auction sale means due diligence on legal/occupancy status is essential
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.
