Listing is a judicial auction, which carries legal and procedural risk; price €37,653 (≈€128/m²) is far below the regional median of €416/m² but auction status makes this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic 17th‑century corte with beautiful vaulted stables and a classic arched portico — lots of historic character. The structure is largely intact so it’s a genuine restoration opportunity, but the property is currently used as storage/agricultural space with roof damage and will need significant work to become a comfortable family 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€19,000 – €33,000
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.
- Partial roof damage / visible holes in the roof; repairs needed
- Interiors are currently agricultural/storage (stables/cellar) and lack bathrooms/kitchen — conversion required
- Likely damp, wiring/plumbing and full refurbishment needed to make a comfortable home
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.
