See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a veto regardless of the apparent €219/m² price versus the €416/m² baseline. The facts also describe a 175 m² habitable villa, while the original text refers to an apartment with detached warehouse and garage in an artisan/commercial setting.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious home with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, heating and substantial garage/storage space. Its bright orange exterior gives it some character, but the setting is ordinary and the interiors are dated rather than beautiful. The low price for 175 sqm creates the main appeal, especially for a buyer comfortable with an auction and practical upgrades.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 requires careful review of the court documentation and occupancy/legal status.
- The house is in an artisanal/commercial setting beside a fairly busy road, with little visible garden or privacy.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, while the detached garage/storage roofs show significant wear and possible water ingress.
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.
