This is explicitly an auction listing ("in asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap verdict. Even though the asking level is about €500/m2 and the house is described as habitable, auction risk overrides price attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
On paper this sounds like a small, genuine countryside home rather than a ruin: stone/brick construction, cotto floors, bathroom, heating and a large 782 sqm private plot. The character could be appealing, but with no real interior or exterior photos the wow factor is largely unproven. Livability seems decent and the price is low, yet this reads more practical-charming than dream-home stunning.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- No actual house photos shown, so beauty is not proven visually.
- Rural setting with services not reachable on foot; car-dependent.
- Likely basic comfort level: single glazing and electric fan-convector heating.
- Auction sale adds procedural/legal complexity.
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.
