See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the 202 m² villa is advertised at €91,125 (€451/m²), this is a judicial auction listing, which carries legal, financing, occupancy, and purchase-process risks. The property is described as habitable, but buyers should rely on the tribunal documentation rather than the promotional listing.
More on the house and the area
A charming, photogenic Piemonte townhouse with a vivid historic facade, balcony, planted courtyard, and characterful exposed-brick vaulted living room. The home appears genuinely habitable, with functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, finished floors, and multiple levels rather than being a renovation shell. At 202 sqm and around €91,000, it has strong value appeal, though the auction process adds practical risk.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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 tribunal documents, occupancy, and legal status.
- Interiors are fully furnished and habitable but somewhat dated and may need cosmetic updating.
- No confirmed private garden or scenic view; the outdoor area appears to be a paved courtyard.
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.
