In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (ASTA), so it requires tribunal paperwork and lawyer-led due diligence; price is EUR 80,713 (EUR 213/m²) on a 379 m² unit but the auction status makes it a risky, specialized purchase.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid town-centre building with a photogenic portico and balcony that gives real historic character. Interiors are habitable but dated and configured for commercial use; with renovation and conversion it could become a very good, affordable 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€25,000 – €42,000
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.
- Interior is very dated and cluttered — full cosmetic renovation needed.
- Ground floor was a restaurant (commercial layout) so conversion to full residential use may need permits.
- Bathrooms and kitchen are old; expect upgrade to systems (electrical/plumbing/insulation).
- Located on a street with parking/traffic — limited privacy and no notable countryside view.
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.
