What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property, explicitly described as an asta and delivered by a court-appointed custodian, which is a veto red flag regardless of the €443/m² price versus the €467/m² baseline. The stated habitable condition suggests approximately €200/m² renovation allowance, but auction-specific legal and purchasing risks dominate.
More on the house and the area
The actual property is a fairly ordinary 1970s-style apartment building with balconies, a small shared grassy area and no demonstrated private garden or view. The apartment appears structurally usable and furnished, with two bedrooms, living spaces, a kitchen, bathroom, garage, cellar and attic, but it offers little distinctive beauty. Several gallery images seem to be unrelated location or promotional photos rather than features of this 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€8,000 – €14,000
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 with judicial-transfer procedures and possible additional costs.
- The attractive garden, palace, city and sea images do not appear to show the property itself.
- Interior photography is limited; verify the bathroom, systems, occupancy status and actual condition before bidding.
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 43/100This is the first rise of the Emilia foothills between the Secchia and Tresinaro valleys, with mixed farmland, low wooded hills and ceramic-industry settlements around Sassuolo and Scandiano. The Secchia valley is the main natural corridor nearby. Reggio Emilia and Modena are the nearest larger cities, with full services, rail links and historic centres. The area is known above all for the Sassuolo ceramic district and for Lambrusco country.
