What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing ('Data di asta', 'Offerta minima'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the ask is only €214/m² versus a €240/m² baseline and the property is described as habitable, the auction status makes it a trap by rule.
More on the house and the area
The arcaded façade, iron balcony and palazzo scale give this building real historic small-town Italian character. It appears structurally complete and usable rather than derelict, but the interiors shown are old-fashioned, dark and in need of substantial updating before it feels like a dream home. The low price for 378 sqm boosts appeal, yet the wow is more in the building’s bones than in immediate livability.
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€25,000 – €42,000
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.
- Interiors look dated and partly cluttered, so expect significant refreshing.
- No clear modern bathroom/kitchen standard is shown in the photos.
- This is an auction sale, so legal/occupancy details need careful checking.
- Mixed-use layout with shop plus two apartments may not suit a simple single-home buyer.
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.
