See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale) which carries legal and possession risks; price €4,219 with €200/m² renovation gives an effective ≈€213/m² versus the regional baseline €297/m², but the lot area is not in the auction acts (estimated) and the ad warns photos are not the real ones, making this risky.
More on the house and the area
The interiors shown are modern and move-in ready, and the tiny price makes this a strong bargain on paper. However the images don’t match the advertised rural farmhouse (you can see urban high‑rise exteriors), so confirm the real photos/plans and the auction perizia before picturing this as a liveable countryside home.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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 photos are indicated as generic/representative and may not show this specific farmhouse (the gallery actually includes urban apartment images).
- Property is sold at judicial auction — check the perizia, occupancy, liens and extra costs before bidding.
- ‘Habitable’ in the facts, but verify utilities, floorplans and the real exterior/setting (photos suggest an urban block, not a rural Marche farmhouse).
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.
