See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is an auction lot and includes a 1/4 undivided share of the access road, a legal complication for buyers. At €60,000 plus estimated €200/m² work (total ≈€89,200) the effective price ≈€611/m² is well above the regional median €314/m², so this looks like a risky auction purchase.
More on the house and the area
A low‑priced suburban villa with intact structure, balcony and small private garden — a clear bargain for 146 m². Interiors are habitable but unfinished and need real renovation (no visible bathroom), so it’s a doable home after investment rather than move‑in ready.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 needs cosmetic and functional renovation (walls, finishes, wiring).
- No configured bathroom shown in listing (baths=0) — likely requires installation.
- Garden is overgrown and the attic/roof shows light penetration — check roof condition.
- Property sold via auction and includes 1/4 shared access road — legal review recommended.
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.
