See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (occupied) which carries legal risk and the ad even says the photos are not the real images while the facts list 0 bathrooms despite the text describing two; avoid unless you know auction process. Price €17,947 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (~€42,400) yields an effective ~€285/m² vs local ~€350/m², but the auction status makes this a trap.
More on the house and the area
Bright, spacious attic-style living area with multiple skylights, clean finishes and an attractive brick feature — a habitable, stylish space that looks move-in ready. Very large (212 m²) for the price, but this is an auctioned, occupied property so confirm real photos and legal status before proceeding.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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.
- Auction sale — requires specialist/legal process
- Property is currently occupied
- Listing warns photos may be indicative and not the actual unit — verify real images and planimetry
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.
