The €25,650 asking price (€81/m²) is attractive against comparable homes, but this property is being sold through a judicial auction, which is a decisive risk for buyers. The description also conflicts with the supplied facts on the number of bathrooms, while heating is currently non-functional and some finishes show damp and age.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial rural house in a pleasant agricultural setting, with trees, fields, balconies, a terrace, and extensive ancillary space. However, the exterior is ordinary rather than especially picturesque, and the home needs practical updating: dated systems, mold traces, and non-functioning heating limit its dream-home appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€31,000 – €53,000
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.
- Heating is currently non-functional and the systems are dated.
- Mold traces are reported in the bathrooms and one bedroom.
- The property includes shared-courtyard outbuildings and storage areas rather than a clearly private garden.
- No interior photos are provided, so the actual finish and livability are difficult to verify.
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.
