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
The €21,000 price (€300/m²) is below the €467/m² Emilia-Romagna townhouse baseline, but the description explicitly states this is a judicial auction managed by a custodian. Auction-specific legal, financing, and possession risks trigger the veto despite the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
A solid, usable mountain-village home surrounded by mature greenery, lawn, and woodland, offered at an exceptional €21,000 price. The interiors show a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, and wooden floors, but the house is basic and dated rather than characterful or beautifully finished.
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.
- Interior is habitable but dated, cluttered, and likely needs cosmetic updating.
- This is a ground-floor apartment in a larger building, so the garden/open space may not be fully private.
- Purchase is through a property auction, requiring careful legal and condition checks.
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.
