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 judicial auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the ask is only €439/m² versus a €563/m² baseline and the house is described as habitable, the auction/legal-risk nature dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: roofed, furnished, with a decent porch and a pleasant planted courtyard plus a good-sized plot. The exterior has some Mediterranean charm, but there are no views or standout historic features, and the interiors look dark and dated rather than dreamy. At this price and size it has value, but the wow comes more from space and livability than beauty.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interior looks dated and may need significant cosmetic updating.
- No bathroom is shown/listed, so functional layout and services need verification.
- Auction sale with a judicial claim noted on the property.
- Setting is suburban/plain rather than scenic despite being near the sea.
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.
