This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low ask. Although the ask is €247/m² versus a €428/m² baseline and the stated condition is habitable, the auction status makes it a trap for this scoring model.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, large, usable house rather than a shell: it appears fully built, inhabited and broadly habitable, with generous internal space and a decent garden area under mature trees. The wow comes more from size and value than beauty, because the setting is ordinary and the architecture is not especially charming. A buyer could live here with light-to-moderate refreshing, but it is not a dreamy picture-postcard Italian 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€21,000 – €36,000
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.
- Exterior is plain suburban rather than picturesque.
- Interiors are dated and cluttered, so expect cosmetic updating.
- Auction sale: paperwork, occupancy and exact property details need checking.
- No bathrooms are listed in the facts despite bathrooms shown in photos.
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.
