See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is a judicial auction (ASTA IMMOBILIARE), which creates legal/transfer risk and makes it unsuitable for a straightforward purchase. Price €31,505 (~€219/m²); the description names Riesi while metadata lists Sommatino (contradictory location); assumed habitable renovation ≈€200/m² (effective ≈€418/m²).
More on the house and the area
Large hilltop villa with terraces and open countryside/olive-grove views — good photogenic setting and lots of space. Interior is partly lived-in but also has unfinished rooms and visible ceiling/facade issues; habitable now but will need moderate renovation and clearing to be a comfortable 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€10,000 – €16,000
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 sale — check legal/title and any liens
- Some rooms are unfinished and ceilings show damage needing repair
- Clutter, cleaning and cosmetic work required throughout
- Exterior facades and terraces need restoration
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.
