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 with a €22,500 minimum bid, so it is unsuitable for buyers seeking a standard direct purchase regardless of its apparent €93/m² price. The 242 m² property is described as habitable and well maintained, but the second floor remains unfinished and renovation work is still incomplete.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial early-1900s Piedmontese farmhouse with 242 m², traditional construction, private outdoor space and roughly 2,180 m² of agricultural, garden and wooded land. The main structure is reportedly in good condition with utilities, pellet heating, solar and photovoltaic systems, but the upper floor remains unfinished and the home is not fully turnkey. At €22,500, the size and land create strong value, though this is a practical renovation-completion opportunity rather than a polished dream 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€16,000 – €27,000
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 second floor is still a raw, unfinished shell and will require completion.
- The listing records no bathrooms, so bathroom provision and usability need verification.
- The property is sold by auction, and the courtyard provides access to the neighboring property.
- No actual interior or exterior property photographs are provided, so visual appeal cannot be fully assessed.
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.
