What it really costs

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('vendita giudiziaria', 'aste giudiziarie'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even ignoring that, a habitable estimate puts effective cost around 719 €/m2 (519 + 200), well above the 410 €/m2 baseline, and it has been listed for 460 days.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizeable, usable-looking townhouse with terraces, garage access and private external space, so it reads as a real home rather than a ruin. But the photos show only a fairly plain modern exterior, with no proven views or interior charm, and the condition is hard to verify from the gallery. At the low €/m2 price it has value appeal, but not much dream-home wow.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- No interior photos, so real finish level and livability are unproven.
- Auction sale adds practical and legal complexity.
- Facade shows patchy/unfinished-looking exterior areas.
- Bathrooms are not documented in the listing facts/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.
