What it really costs

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction property, which is a mandatory trap regardless of the apparent €4,078/m² asking figure. The facts also conflict with the description: 21 m² and 2 rooms versus 7.5 cadastral rooms over two floors.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, roofed villa with balconies, terrace space, a fenced outdoor area, and a generally attractive Mediterranean exterior. The interiors appear structurally usable but unfinished rather than move-in ready, especially the kitchen and bathroom, so this is a completion project more than an instantly livable dream home.
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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- Interior photos show an incomplete kitchen and a bathroom that may lack finished fixtures.
- The property is being sold at auction, so legal review, occupancy status, and actual measurements need verification.
- The exterior is pleasant and solid-looking but offers no proven panoramic view or distinctive historic character.
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.
