See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly a judicial auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €476/m² for a habitable 126 m² semi-detached villa, auction status overrides price attractiveness and makes it unsuitable here.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, habitable semi-detached villa rather than a dream-property beauty. The house appears structurally solid, with usable interiors, heating and garage, but the look is very ordinary and dated, with no special view or historic charm. At €60k for 126 sqm it has value, yet the wow comes more from price than from atmosphere.
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 – €14,000
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.
- Auction sale: photos and details may be incomplete
- Interiors look dated and somewhat dark
- Outdoor space is small and plain rather than scenic

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.
