What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction

This is a judicial auction with a €18,000 minimum bid, despite the apparently attractive €231/m² price. Auction purchases carry legal, occupancy, and bidding risks, so the listing is vetoed under the catalog rules.
More on the house and the area
A modest two-story Lombardy townhouse with attractive shutters, stone-trimmed windows, a balcony, private courtyard, and open rural fields visible from the rear. It is more than a bare shell—the floors, heating, rooms, and roof appear intact—but the neglected interiors, deteriorated utility room, and overgrown exterior make it a renovation project rather than a dream-ready 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€5,000 – €9,000
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 home appears structurally roofed and usable, but interiors show heavy neglect, peeling finishes, dirt, and likely damp.
- A bathroom is claimed in the description but is not shown in the photo gallery.
- This is an auction property, with potential legal, occupancy, and additional-cost checks required.
- The overgrown courtyard and independent outbuildings will need substantial clearing and maintenance.
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.
