What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction property, so it carries legal, procedural and financing risks despite the attractive €239/m² asking price for 220 m². The listing describes it as habitable, but buyers must verify the court documentation and occupancy status before bidding.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, independent 220 sqm house with a balcony, terrace, cellar, garage, and apparently habitable status. However, the exterior is plain and dated, with no visible views, garden, or strong architectural character; it reads more as a practical bargain than a dream Italian home.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 legal and occupancy due diligence.
- The exterior looks dated and utilitarian rather than especially characterful or photogenic.
- Bathroom and interior condition should be verified; the facts list zero bathrooms while the description mentions one.
- No notable view, garden, or distinctive historic features are shown.
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.
