This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is low at €342/m² versus a €425/m² baseline, auction risk dominates the assessment.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real house rather than a ruin, with usable rooms, stairs, balcony and yard area, so it has basic livability. But the architecture is plain 1970s/80s suburban, and the interiors feel dark, cluttered and dated rather than dreamy or characterful. The low price for the size helps, yet the wow factor for actually wanting to live here is limited.
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 or standout exterior charm
- Interiors look dated and somewhat gloomy, needing substantial cosmetic updating
- Bathroom appears very tired and may need renovation
- Auction sale: documentation and property status should be checked carefully
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.
