See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €87,450 (€329/m²), this 266 m² villa is being sold through enforcement proceedings and is not currently habitable: unfinished works must be completed and new building approvals obtained. The auction status is a decisive risk regardless of the apparent price discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial detached three-storey house with generous covered porches, a balcony, and a sizeable garden, but the setting is ordinary rather than scenic or historic. The structure appears roofed and intact, yet incomplete renovation and unfinished systems mean it is a major project rather than a move-in 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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€53,000 – €93,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Renovation is incomplete, including insulation and building systems, so it is not currently habitable.
- New building permits/titles are reportedly required before the works can be completed and occupancy obtained.
- The property is being sold through an enforcement/executive procedure, and the listing warns that photos may be indicative rather than of the exact property.
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.
The area around
Location score 35/100This is the flat central Po plain, with fields, drainage canals and scattered settlements around the old market town pattern of the Bolognese lowlands. The Panaro runs a few kilometres to the west and the area lies between the plain-side towns of San Giovanni in Persiceto and Cento; for a wider range of services, Bologna is the nearest major city. The area is known for intensive agriculture and food production typical of the Emilian plain.
