See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale/asta) that includes agricultural land and a partly un‑censused deposit, and the ad warns images are not real. Listed price €97,032 for 406 m² (≈€239/m² vs local median €440/m²) looks cheap but the auction status and unclear cadastral situation make this a risky acquisition.
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, modern, move‑in‑ready interiors and an attractive historic façade — a handsome apartment that feels livable today. However the written description describes a rural two‑body farmhouse with land and the ad warns photos are only indicative, so confirm the real property condition, layout and auction/legal details before proceeding.
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€27,000 – €45,000
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.
- The listing states images are indicative — the photos shown may not be of the actual farmhouse/land described.
- This is an auction sale (asta): verify legal/title issues and costs before bidding.
- No photos of the actual land, bedrooms or full floorplan — confirm real condition, utilities and layout in person.
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.
