See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE") is a veto red flag for this catalog, so it scores as a trap regardless of the low €31,501 asking price. The property is described as habitable, implying about €200/m² renovation, but auction risk overrides the apparent discount versus the €563/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed and usable single-storey house with a covered veranda, small outdoor space, stone-look interior walls, arches and a substantial fireplace that add some character. It does not have proven views or standout beauty, and the exterior is fairly ordinary, but it looks habitable rather than a shell. At this price for 120 sqm near the sea, the value helps the appeal even if it needs refreshing.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 and a bit worn rather than truly photogenic.
- Interiors look dated and cluttered, needing cosmetic updating.
- Bathroom/kitchen usability is not clearly shown in the photos.
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy/regularity 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.
