This is a judicial auction (min bid €2,532) for a 17 m2 unit with no bathroom, nearly absent electrics and an asbestos roof; heavy restoration estimated at ~€1,100/m2 gives an effective price ≈€1,248/m2. Because it is an auction and not currently habitable, treat this as a high-risk/trap opportunity.
More on the house and the area
Tiny (17 m²) ground‑floor unit in a historic 1942 building with a mezzanine — unfortunately the mezzanine is inaccessible, there is no bathroom and the electrical system is practically nonexistent. Excellent price and historic interest make it a bargain for a DIY project, but it’s a renovation/health‑safety project rather than a ready home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €10,000
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.
- Only 17 m² and effectively a single room + inaccessible mezzanine (no stairs).
- No bathroom and no functioning electrical supply (old disconnected ENEL meter).
- Roof in asbestos sheets with wooden structure — full replacement/abatement likely required.
- Property needs full renovation/modernization; not move‑in ready and may have restrictions due to historic listing.
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.
