What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a veto regardless of the apparent price. At €73,000 for 230 m², the effective cost with a €200/m² habitable-condition allowance is about €517/m² versus the €317/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, generously sized villa with a garden, terrace, fireplace, exposed beams, and attractive stone detailing. It lacks a spectacular view or exceptional historic setting, but the 230 sqm house at about €73,000 gives it strong bargain appeal.
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€15,000 – €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 requires careful review of tribunal documents, occupancy status, and legal procedure.
- The listing reports zero bathrooms, so bathroom provision should be verified despite the stated habitable condition.
- Interiors are usable but dated and somewhat cluttered, with likely cosmetic refreshing needed.
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.
