See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €62,475 price (€242/m²) is well below the Lombardia villa baseline of €416/m², but the listing is explicitly a judicial auction (asta immobiliare), which is a veto red flag under the scoring rules. The stated habitable condition implies an estimated renovation cost of about €200/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial two-story yellow villa with a fenced garden, balcony, garage, and usable family interiors offers a genuinely livable home rather than a renovation shell. Its appeal is practical and spacious rather than scenic or historic, with dated finishes and visible exterior maintenance issues. The very low price per square metre is the main dream-home incentive, but the auction process and unclear bathroom information are important cautions.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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 appears habitable but interiors are dated and likely need modernization.
- The exterior shows staining, peeling plaster, and general maintenance needs.
- This is an auction property; legal status, occupancy, utilities, and the reported absence of bathrooms require careful verification.
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.
