This is a judicial-auction property offered as a partial ownership quota, so it is not a straightforward purchase for a foreign buyer despite the €31,180 price. The home is dated and lacks a heating system, implying roughly €700/m² for renovation and upgrades.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 78 m² home with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, courtyard, storage room and roof access—not a renovation shell. Its main appeal is the very low auction price and practical layout, but the dated finishes, lack of heating and ordinary urban surroundings keep it in the charming rather than dream-home range.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
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.
- Auction purchase and the listing refers to a fractional ownership share, so legal/title details need careful checking.
- No fixed heating system; comfort relies on a wood-burning fireplace and electric water heater.
- The house is usable but dated, with a plain interior and a worn semi-finished courtyard.
- The rooftop terrace and exterior areas appear utilitarian rather than scenic.
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.
