What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingHabitableThe photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the ad states the photos are not the real ones. With 'habitable' works estimated at €200/m² the effective price is €63,878 (≈€456/m²) vs regional baseline €440/m², so it’s not an obvious bargain and the auction/missing-real-photos make it risky.
More on the house and the area
Large 140 m² townhouse with recently tiled floors, modern bathrooms and recessed lighting — interiors look freshly redone and largely habitable. It feels like a good-value, move-in-after-minor-works place (kitchen fit-out and final plumbing/electrics likely needed) but offers no historic character, view or outdoor space.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Property sold at auction — legal/process risks and extra fees
- Some plumbing/fixtures appear not fully connected and no kitchen is fitted yet
- No garden, terrace or scenic views shown; plain multi-storey building exterior
- Photos in listing may be indicative — confirm real floorplan and conditions
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.
