This is a judicial auction listing (legal/process risk) so it is treated as a trap. Even assuming habitable condition with ~€200/m² renovation, effective price ≈€112,200 (≈€603/m²) vs regional baseline €417/m², so it is expensive for the area; the ad also states images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
Bright, recently-renovated interiors and new floors make this a realistic, livable townhouse with a private paved/green courtyard and a garage. It needs finishing touches (kitchen and likely some bathrooms) and offers good value, but it lacks scenic views or historic charm.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Some rooms appear unfinished or unfitted (kitchen fittings/appliances not installed).
- No photos of bedrooms or finished main bathroom; one image is a CGI rendering, not a real photo.
- Attic is non-habitable under the roof; limited views and no historic character.
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.
