What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly an "asta immobiliare" (judicial auction), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. Although the ask is only €242/m² versus a €428/m² baseline, auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clearly usable detached house with a private garden, balcony and garage, so it feels like a real home rather than a project. But the architecture and setting are quite ordinary, and both outside and inside look dated rather than charming. Good value for the size, yet the dream factor is modest.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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 plain suburban setting with no view or historic character
- Exterior shows some wear and patchy facade areas
- Interiors look dated and only partially shown
- Auction sale means due diligence on documents and occupancy 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.
