See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property, which makes it unsuitable for this catalog regardless of the very low €89/m² asking figure. The 246 m² home also has an unusable portion requiring renovation, with mediocre condition on the upper floors.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic village house with exposed brick courtyard buildings, rustic beams, a private green courtyard, and a characterful tiled kitchen. The ground floor appears genuinely usable with autonomous heating, but the upper levels and adjoining structures need work, so this is a charming renovation opportunity rather than a ready-made dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€49,000 – €86,000
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.
- Part of the house is currently unusable and needs renovation; upper floors are in mediocre condition.
- The roof structure appears aged, with visible gaps/light penetration in one inspection photo.
- This is an auction purchase, and the advertised condition and €21,960 price should be verified against the appraisal and site visit.
- The property is large but offers only one bathroom according to the listing data.
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.
