This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale/asta), which is a legal-veto risk. Price EUR 32,063 + estimated renovation EUR 37,000 (EUR 200/m² × 185 m²) → effective ≈ EUR 69,063 (~EUR 373/m²), close to the regional median, but auction status and non-real photo disclaimer make this a high-risk purchase.
More on the house and the area
Photos show clean, modern finished interiors and an attractive historic façade, so this could be a very usable, characterful home. However the images are indicated as generic/staged and there’s no proof of the villa’s outdoor space or exact condition — expect due diligence and auction-related complexity.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 states the photos are only indicative/staged and may not show the real property.
- No clear photo evidence of private garden/land, views or outdoor space despite the lot listed in the facts.
- This is an auction property — legal/administrative work and checks will be required.
- Actual layout and utilities should be confirmed in person; images show finished rooms but may not match the real condition.
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.
