This is a judicial auction (in asta) so purchase must proceed via the auction process. At €22,490 plus estimated €1,100/m² of structural works (total ≈ €139,090 → ≈ €1,312/m²) versus the regional median €531/m², and the description calls the property 'in very poor condition' despite the 'Renovated' tag, so I rate this a trap.
More on the house and the area
The house has character (a vaulted room, terrace/lastricato and a garage) and is very inexpensive, but photos and the report show severe damp/ceiling detachment and collapsed finishes. This is a real renovation project requiring structural and full MEP replacement — not move-in ready, best for someone prepared to invest in major works.
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€42,000 – €62,000
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.
- Significant detachments/damage to ceilings and some floor/soffit areas — structural repair likely required
- Electric, water and sewage systems described as in very poor condition and non-compliant
- No heating; bathrooms, finishes and many fixtures are ruined and need full replacement
- Located on a busy town road (noise/traffic) — central but not a quiet setting
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.
