This is a judicial auction, with a €53,540 asking figure and a 336 m² main dwelling described as being in poor, deteriorated condition rather than renovated. The separate 63 m² deposit has an almost completely collapsed roof, making this unsuitable as a straightforward livable-home purchase despite the apparent €159/m² price.
More on the house and the area
This is a large former rural house with appealing old brickwork, timber roof structure, a private courtyard, and some genuine historic character. The main building is not an empty shell—it has rooms, a bathroom, stairs, and existing services—but the damp, worn finishes and dated systems make it a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€133,000 – €197,000
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.
- The main house is substantially degraded and needs serious renovation, despite having usable rooms, a bathroom, floors, and an apparently intact main roof.
- The detached 63 m² storage building is severely deteriorated, with most of its roof collapsed.
- Auction purchase requires careful checks on title, permits, structural condition, utilities, and renovation costs.
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.
