This is offered as a judicial auction lot (Tribunale/asta), which prevents a normal private-sale purchase. With a habitable-grade allowance (~€200/m² → total ≈€88k), the effective price is about €348/m² versus the regional baseline of €446/m², but acquisition must proceed via auction.
More on the house and the area
Large, habitable townhouse set in a handsome historic building with several modern-finished rooms (kitchen and bathrooms look recently redone). However at least one service area is unfinished and the listing warns images may be indicative — verify the real condition and final fittings before bidding.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Some photos appear to be generic/indicative and may not show the actual unit — confirm real pictures and planimetry.
- A service/utility room in the photos looks unfinished with exposed plumbing and fittings needed.
- No private outdoor space shown; energy class G suggests older heating/insulation and possible running-costs.
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.
