What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €57,000 (€760/m²) townhouse appears habitable, but the description explicitly states it is being sold through a judicial auction, which is a veto under the scoring rules. The facts also list 0 bathrooms despite the description mentioning a bathroom.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, usable 75 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, covered terraces, heating, and a large double garage, but the interior and exterior are ordinary rather than dream-home beautiful. The advertised landmark, garden, and sea images appear unrelated to the property; the actual home has no proven view, historic character, or exceptional setting.
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 – €8,000
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 legal, occupancy, and financing checks.
- Visible rising damp or moisture damage appears around parts of the exterior walls.
- The home is habitable but visually dated and lacks distinctive architectural character or a private scenic setting.
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.
