This is a judicial auction (minimum bid €20,277) for a 504 m² residential complex in a state of abandonment; estimated restoration ≈ €1,100/m² gives an effective price of about €1,140/m² versus a regional median of €167/m², so this is not a straightforward buy through the listing.
More on the house and the area
Large, very cheap town palazzo with old wooden beams and a private courtyard but shown in an abandoned, storage-like state. This is a project: evocative bones and huge space but requires full renovation before it becomes a real home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€200,000 – €295,000
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.
- Property is abandoned and used as storage — not move-in ready.
- Major renovation very likely (roof/structural repairs, new floors, full systems, bathrooms/kitchen).
- Photos show cracks, damp and deteriorated finishes; budget for structural/technical surveys needed.
- Building faces a main road (noise/visibility) and has a concrete courtyard rather than private garden.
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.
