What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the description says it is cadastrally a C/2 magazzino in the attic, only 'used as an apartment' in practice, so it is not a normal legally habitable dwelling. Even though the ask is low (€33,076 for 98 sqm, €338/sqm vs €396/sqm baseline), the legal/use risk vetoes the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, usable-looking top-floor attic space rather than a dream Italian home. The interiors seem habitable, but the low ceilings, plain apartment-block exterior, and lack of beauty or view keep the wow low. The biggest issue is that it is officially registered as a magazzino, so real livability and resale depend on legal verification.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- Legally registered as a C/2 storage unit, not a standard home
- Attic layout with very low sloping ceilings limits comfort and usability
- No proven scenic views or special exterior character in the photos
- Auction listing, so documentation and regularization need checking
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.
