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
This €90,000 townhouse is explicitly sold through a judicial auction, which is a mandatory trap condition regardless of its habitable status or €1,098/m² asking price. The description also highlights auction consultancy rather than a standard sale.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a habitable but ordinary 82 m² apartment with balconies, garage, cellar and an exclusive attic, rather than a distinctive Italian dream home. The grand gardens, historic buildings and sea views are not proven to belong to the property, so they add no reliable wow appeal.
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 – €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.
- The actual property photos show a plain brick condominium exterior and little usable interior detail.
- Most of the gallery appears to show unrelated stock or location imagery, including grand gardens, palaces and sea views; these should not be treated as features of the home.
- Auction purchase involves legal, occupancy and financing checks, and the listing does not show the bathroom, kitchen or main living spaces clearly.
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 57/100This area lies in the first hills south of the Po plain, with the northern Apennine foothills beginning within a few kilometres. The Secchia valley is nearby to the east, and the lower slopes and wooded ridges of the Reggiano Apennines are the main landscape element within reach. Reggio Emilia is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a historic centre. The area is known for mixed farming and vineyards, including the Lambrusco zone, and for the food culture of the Reggio-Modena plain and foothills.
