Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction (asta) listing so it’s flagged as a trap for our catalog. At €12,435 for 145 m2 and “needs renovation” (est. €700/m2) the effective cost would be ≈€113,935 (≈€786/m2) vs. the regional baseline €350/m2; the ad also states the photos are not real.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Photos show large, bright, loft-like interiors and modern-finish bathrooms that could be very attractive once renovated. The street/courtyard elevation is worn and the official description/auction status mean this is a renovation project and not a turnkey home — a true bargain for someone willing to restore it.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€51,000 – €73,000

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.

€87,000 – €131,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

€174,000 – €218,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €51,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

What worries us about this house
  • Listing explicitly states the property "Needs renovation" and is an auction lot — expect works and legal/buying complexity.
  • Exterior courtyard/façade shows peeling plaster and weathering — building envelope likely needs repair.
  • Photos are noted as indicative in the ad and may not represent the exact unit shown.
  • Listing records 0 bathrooms; on-site fittings/utilities should be verified before purchase.

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.
