The €50,540 asking price for 235 m² is attractive, and the description presents a generally habitable 1996 villa, but it is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction. The listing also conflicts with the stated zero bathrooms, while the description mentions several bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid and apparently well-maintained 235 m² detached home with four bedrooms, multiple living areas, three levels, heating, utilities and usable bathrooms—far more of a real home than a renovation project. Its setting is quiet and lightly rural, but the architecture and interiors are conventional, with no proven spectacular view, historic character or garden to create a strong dream-home effect; the 32% auction discount is the main attraction.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and occupancy details requiring verification.
- Exterior and interiors look functional but visually plain rather than characterful.
- Attic ceiling heights are low in places, and the house is outside town with few immediate services.
- Photos are low quality and do not fully confirm current condition.
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.
