This is offered via judicial auction (ASTA), which is a legal-risk sale; price €50,000 plus estimated €200/m² renovation = €96,000 total (≈€417/m²), well above the Marche baseline €229/m². The description also states "in corso di costruzione" while the listing condition is 'Habitable', a clear contradiction.
More on the house and the area
Large suburban villa shell with intact floors, doors and a staircase — clearly habitable but cosmetically unfinished (bathroom fittings and final finishes missing). Not photogenic or scenic, but excellent size and price for someone willing to complete the fit-out and handle auction paperwork.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- Unit is sold at auction — requires legal/title checks and a specialist (lawyer) to confirm conditions
- Partly unfinished: bathrooms and some fixtures/finishes appear incomplete so additional work/costs are likely
- No notable view or historic character; suburban setting with limited outdoor space
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.
