This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap score. Although the ask is only €296/m² versus a €563/m² baseline, auction risk overrides the pricing signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, real-size home that appears basically habitable, with a functional bathroom, kitchen and finished rooms rather than a shell. But the overall look is plain and the exterior maintenance issues are noticeable, so it feels more practical bargain than Italian dream home. The garage and roof terrace help usability, yet the wow factor is low.
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 – €17,000
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.
- Facade and terrace areas show visible deterioration and moisture damage.
- Interiors look usable but fairly basic, with limited charm.
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy/regularity should be checked carefully.
- No proven view or attractive outdoor living space in the 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.
