This is a judicial auction, which carries significant procedural and purchase risk despite the €50,620 starting price (€266/m²). The 190 m² home also has humidity, poor exterior plaster and an incomplete electrical system, suggesting substantial renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 190 m² independent house with attractive old brick detailing, a private garden, balcony and a traditional village-center setting. The interiors appear functional rather than beautiful, with bathrooms and kitchen areas present but dated, dark and in need of refreshing. At around €50,600, the size and independent-home character create a strong bargain effect, but it is not a move-in-ready 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€38,000 – €67,000
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 house is usable but clearly dated, with dark interiors, worn finishes and external plaster in poor condition.
- Traces of humidity affect the ground floor, and the electrical system is reportedly incomplete.
- This is an auction property, so legal, access and occupancy documentation should be checked carefully.
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.
