This property is being sold at a judicial auction (asta), which is a veto for standard listings. Price €45,225 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (216 m²) yields an effective ≈€88,425 (≈€409/m²), above the regional baseline €350/m².
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show attractive, modern kitchen and bathroom styling, so the interior could feel contemporary and liveable. However the unit appears to be a ground‑floor urban dwelling (no views or private garden) and the ad warns the photos are not of the real property — verify real photos, plans and auction/legal status before assuming this is the finished home you’d move into.
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative and do NOT show the actual property — verify real photos and floorplans.
- Ground‑floor townhouse facing a paved/parking area with no scenic view visible in images.
- Property is sold at auction — legal/transfer costs and timing can be significant, get professional help.
- Inconsistencies in the listing (bath counts, images vs description) — confirm condition, utilities and finishes before bidding.
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.
