This is a judicial auction (asta) and therefore a legal-risk purchase; the description also contradicts the listed condition (says 'Renovated' but interior is in very poor condition). At €11,240 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€152k total, ≈€756/m²) it's well above the regional baseline of €358/m², so I classify it as a trap for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Large 3‑storey town house (201 m²) with a terrace and a small private garden — excellent size and a very low auction starting price. The building is structurally present but the interior is in bad repair (unsafe staircase, no heating), so expect substantial works and checks before it’s livable.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €71,000
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 reported in very poor condition; internal staircase to upper floor is unsafe
- No heating and conformity of systems not available — significant renovation likely required
- Access/entrance is at the rear and separated from the public road by third‑party property
- Listing photos are infographics/text only — no real interior/exterior photos provided
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.
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster sits in the Valmarecchia hills under the first ridges of the northern Apennines. The Marecchia valley is the main landscape feature here, with wooded slopes, cultivated hilltops and a sequence of fortified hill towns nearby. The area is close to the Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park, which covers part of the upland ridge zone south-west of Talamello. Montefeltro is the historic landscape around it, known for hilltop villages, pasture and woodland. Novafeltria is the nearest town of size and has the valley’s main everyday services. San Leo is nearby, with its fortress on a detached rock and membership of I Borghi più belli d’Italia. Pennabilli is also nearby and has Bandiera Arancione status. The nearest Adriatic resorts and Rimini are relevant for services and transport but are outside the immediate landscape and do not define the score.
