This is a judicial auction (Tribunale) with legal complexity, so treated as a trap. Listed at €11,345 (€41/m2) for 278 m2 with the ad stating the general condition is 'scadente', photos are not real and key technical data are missing, so a full restoration is estimated ~€1,100/m2.
More on the house and the area
Large solid townhouse with some recently finished surfaces (new floor tiles, modern bathrooms shown) and huge price appeal, but the building is described as in poor overall condition and sits in a utilitarian urban courtyard rather than a scenic or historic setting. It’s a bargain for someone ready to carry out renovation work to make it a comfortable family 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€110,000 – €163,000
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 text states the general state of maintenance is "scadente" (poor) — significant renovation likely.
- Advert warns the pictures may be indicative and not the real photos for the specific property.
- Urban courtyard setting with no scenic views or historic character.
- Some rooms in the gallery appear only partly finished (visible plumbing, buckets, incomplete fixtures).
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.
