The listing is explicitly an auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto under the rules. Although the ask is €39,614 for 15 sqm, auction status overrides any price comparison.
More on the house and the area
The setting is appealing: a small house tucked into a brick historic lane in a Marche hill town, which gives it real Italian-village charm. But this looks more like a tiny, basic pied-à-terre than a full dream home, and the practical livability is uncertain from the material shown. The low price helps, yet the wow is moderate rather than major because usable interior beauty is not demonstrated.
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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- Very tiny at only 15 sqm, so usability is limited.
- Auction listing: details, condition and documentation need careful verification.
- No bathroom is listed, which may mean incomplete services or missing data.
- Only exterior charm is clear; interior quality/livability is not proven from the provided image.
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.
The area around
