See what needs doing and what each job costs
The property is being sold via a judicial auction (Tribunale), which carries extra legal/process risk — scored as a trap. At the asking €34,935 for 116 m² with an estimated €200/m² renovation (effective ≈ €58,135 → ≈€501/m²) the effective price sits above the regional baseline of €409/m².
More on the house and the area
A modest, liveable two-storey townhouse with a gated front and small rear courtyard/garden — perfectly usable now but with dated tiles and finishes. Good value for an auction buy, though expect routine updating and the usual legal/administrative work that comes with court‑sold properties.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Sold at auction — expect legal/possession steps and extra costs
- Dated interiors and finishes; cosmetic updating likely required
- Listing photos may not exactly match the unit for sale
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.
