What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction is an automatic veto under the catalog rules, regardless of the attractive €244/m² asking price versus the €467/m² Emilia-Romagna townhouse baseline. The property appears habitable, but auction procedures add material legal and transaction risk.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-level townhouse with a clean, well-maintained exterior, balcony, garage, heating and a small private courtyard. The surrounding hillside setting adds appeal, but the house itself is fairly plain and the dramatic garden, palace and coastal images appear unrelated stock photos rather than features of the property. It is a potentially strong bargain for a practical home, but not a visual dream home based on the evidence shown.
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 – €25,000
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.
- This is an auction property, so the €54,000 price may not be the final acquisition cost and requires legal/document review.
- The gallery shows almost no interior space, so the stated habitable condition cannot be independently verified from the photos.
- The listing facts show zero bathrooms, while the description mentions two; this discrepancy should be checked.
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 61/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill belt south of Reggio Emilia. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Secchia valley is not far to the east. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the south, with the main protected ridges and higher summits reached farther up the mountains rather than around the village itself. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road and season. The nearest town of size is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full set of city services, rail links and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for wooded ridges, pasture, small stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the Apennine foothills.
