Listing is explicitly an auction ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. It is also described as "grezzo avanzato" rather than truly habitable, implying roughly €900/m² of finishing works on top of the €71,719 price.
More on the house and the area
This is a modern suburban villa with good size and a very low price per square metre, but it has little visual charm. The interiors are clearly at advanced shell stage rather than truly habitable, with unfinished rooms and no fitted bathroom or kitchen visible. It could become a practical family house, but right now it feels more like a completion project than a dream Italian home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€39,000 – €69,000
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.
- Advanced shell / unfinished interior, not move-in ready
- No bathroom fitted and likely no kitchen installed
- Plain suburban setting with no view or historic character
- Auction listing: specifications and completion 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.
