This is a judicial auction ('asta immobiliare'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The lot also includes only a 1/3 undivided share of land ('quota di 1/3 indiviso'), adding a second veto red flag regardless of the low 363 €/m² asking price.
More on the house and the area
This is a big detached country villa with generous covered terraces and some garden greenery, so it has scale and outdoor potential. But the photos show a mixed reality: part of it is habitable and functional, while large areas are unfinished or garage-like, with plain 1980s character rather than real wow. It feels more like a practical low-cost house with work to do than a dream home people would instantly fantasize about living in.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Much of the lower level looks like raw garage/storage space rather than finished living area.
- Interiors shown are basic and dated, with limited charm.
- Auction sale: documentation and exact condition should be checked carefully.
- The land appears to be only a shared 1/3 portion, not clearly private full grounds.
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.
