What it really costs

See what needs doing and what each job costs
Despite the low €204/m² asking figure for a 255 m² property, this home is being sold through a judicial auction with a €51,975 minimum bid. Auction purchases carry legal, procedural, and financing risks that outweigh the apparent 35% discount to comparable local listings.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable town house with three bedrooms, multiple living areas, independent heating, balconies and a rooftop terrace. Its main appeal is space and a substantial 44% auction discount rather than spectacular scenery or distinctive historic interiors; the exterior and terrace need refreshing, but the main home appears livable.
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.
- Auction purchase with procedural and bidding risks.
- The property is habitable, but the upper attic spaces have very low ceilings and are more suitable for storage than living.
- The rooftop photovoltaic system is currently nonfunctional, and the 30 sqm storage room has non-compliant electrical installation.
- The exterior walls and terrace look weathered and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
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.
