What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly states “asta immobiliare” (judicial auction), which is a veto despite the €96,187 price and €594/m² versus a €530/m² baseline. The facts call it a villa, while the description says apartment with garage, storage and building land, creating a material contradiction.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, usable Tuscan villa with a generous olive-filled garden, garage and storage, offering appealing everyday countryside living near Volterra. The house appears habitable but dated and visually ordinary inside, with no standout historic character or proven view; its size and land make the price look attractive, subject to the auction risks.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 court documents, occupancy and legal status.
- Interiors are dated, cluttered and likely need cleaning and cosmetic refurbishment.
- Bathrooms are not clearly shown in the available photos or confirmed in the facts.
- The property sits in a residential village setting rather than offering a dramatic view or secluded countryside position.
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.
