What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €56,250 asking price (€1,875/m²) is for an auction property described primarily as an office with garage, not a straightforward dwelling. Judicial-sale conditions, occupancy and legal/urban-planning status require review, making it unsuitable as a clean habitable-home deal despite the 9 days on market.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical urban office with a garage, but the photos show no residential character, kitchen, bathroom, garden, or private view. Although the unit appears structurally usable, substantial work and possible planning approval would be needed to turn it into a genuine 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€2,000 – €4,000
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 property is described as an office/commercial unit, not a residential home.
- No bathroom or kitchen is shown, making it unsuitable for immediate living.
- The interior is a plain, empty single-room space under a covered urban arcade.
- The attractive city, garden, and sea images appear to be area or promotional photos, not views from the property.
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.
The area around
Location score 52/100The cluster lies in the Reno valley at the edge of the first Bolognese Apennine hills. The Reno river runs through the town. South of the built-up area the land rises toward the Bolognese Apennines, with the Regional Park of Monte Sole within about 15 km in that direction. Bologna is immediately adjacent and provides the full services of a major historic city, but this cluster is inside the continuous urban area on its southwest side.
