See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale) so purchase carries court procedures and extra legal/transactional risk. Price €54,845 (~€341/m² vs regional median €407/m²) looks low but auction status makes it unsuitable for a standard buyer, hence scored as a trap.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show clean, contemporary, move-in-ready interiors (nice kitchen, modern bathroom and good floors), so the condition looks pleasant and livable. However the exterior shots are anonymous and the ad warns photos are not of the real unit — obtain real photos, plans and check access/layout before deciding.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 photos are indicative/stock and not the actual property — ask for real photos and floorplans.
- Exterior photo in the gallery is anonymous/unsightly and shows no historic character or attractive setting.
- Access details matter: description mentions external stair to first floor and a retractable ladder to the attic — confirm suitability.
- Verify utilities and bathroom locations (one bathroom/boiler in cellar per listing) 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.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Prealpi Bresciane, in the low hills east of Brescia where quarry-cut limestone ridges meet the edge of the plain. Lake Garda is within this radius at the western end around Salò and the lower Valtenesi shore. The Chiese and Naviglio Grande Bresciano systems are part of the wider plain landscape nearby. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with full services, a large historic centre and Roman remains including the UNESCO site of Santa Giulia and the Capitolium. This area is known for stone quarries, mixed farmland and the transition from plain to the Garda and prealpine hill country.
