What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

This is a €29,990 judicial auction property, which is a disqualifying risk for this catalog despite its stated good condition and €682/m² price. The listing also describes an isolated agricultural setting with limited nearby services.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable small country home rather than a ruin, with good reported condition, exposed stone and brick details, cotto floors, and a generous 782 m² private court. Its main appeal is the independent rural setting and low auction price, but there is no proven lake or mountain view and the location is remote.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 requires careful review of the appraisal, legal status, and transfer procedure.
- The property is in an agricultural area away from main roads and everyday shops, so a private vehicle is essential.
- Only 44 m² of living space; verify the stated bathroom and utility details against the official documents.
- Single-glazed windows and electric heating may mean higher running costs and limited winter comfort.
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.
