- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing. At €14,171 plus estimated renovation (€700/m²) the effective cost is ≈€195,471 or ≈€755/m² vs the regional baseline €425/m², so it is not an obvious bargain and the note that images are not the real photos is an additional warning.
More on the house and the area
Photos are generic/staged and not the actual rooms; the real asset is an old townhouse in a historic centre sold at auction and reported to need renovation. With no bathroom recorded and uncertain services, this is a renovation project rather than a move‑in dream, but it could be a strong bargain for someone prepared to manage an auction purchase and a full refurbishment.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €91,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property sold at auction — possible legal/administrative complications
- Listed condition: "Needs renovation" (photos are non‑representative)
- No bathrooms recorded (baths: 0) — interior services likely incomplete
- Agent notes say images are indicative/stock, so real finishes and views are unknown
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.
