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
Despite a €60,000 price (€714/m²) for an apparently habitable 84 m² townhouse, the description explicitly states it will be sold through a judicial auction and delivered by the court-appointed custodian. Judicial auctions are a mandatory veto under the scoring rules.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, ordinary apartment in a residential brick condominium, with three bedrooms, a balcony, cellar, and garage at a notably low price. The interiors look usable but dated and not especially characterful; the beautiful sea and formal-garden photos do not appear to depict the home itself.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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 potential legal, timing, and financing complexity.
- The apartment appears habitable but dated, with basic finishes and cluttered interiors.
- No elevator; the attractive sea, garden, and historic-building images appear to be nearby or promotional imagery rather than views or amenities belonging to 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 55/100This cluster sits in the built-up area of Reggio Emilia, so the lived setting is an urban plain in the central Po Valley. The Crostolo crosses the city and the Secchia is to the east. The nearest larger landscape feature is the northern Apennine foothill belt south of the city, but it is outside the immediate urban surroundings. Reggio Emilia itself is a provincial capital with a substantial historic centre, services, rail links and industry, and it is known for the tricolour flag museum and for Parmigiano Reggiano in the surrounding area.
