See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the text states the building is partially demolished/collapsed, inaccessible, inagibile, and without systems, so it fails the livable-house test. At €16,490 for 222 sqm it looks cheap, but with extreme restoration at about €1,100/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,174/sqm, far above the 386 €/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the old brick farmhouse character and the large grassy plot with mature trees. But this is not a usable home: the listing itself says it is partially demolished, collapsed, inaccessible in part, and inagibile with no systems. At this price it is only interesting as a very serious restoration or rebuild project, not a liveable dream house.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€88,000 – €130,000
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.
- Partially demolished and collapsed structure
- Inhabitable/inagibile with no bathroom, kitchen, or systems visible
- Wooden floors are non-practicable and part of the building is inaccessible
- Historic protection may complicate rebuilding/restoration
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.
