The listing is explicitly an auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap rating. Even though the ask is 490 EUR/m2 versus a 573 EUR/m2 baseline, auction risk overrides pricing; the text also notes only mediocre maintenance.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a usable, low-cost townhouse with a small private garden and some open green surroundings, but it lacks real visual magic. The house appears basically habitable rather than derelict, yet the interiors shown are dated and only modestly appealing. Good value for the size, more practical than dreamy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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 – €21,000
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.
- 1980s row-house style is functional rather than romantic
- Interior photos are sparse, blurry and suggest dated/mediocre maintenance
- No bathroom count listed despite a habitable claim
- Auction sale: condition/details should be verified 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.
