Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial-auction sale (listed as anasta) for €23,100 but described as needing renovation; estimated renovation ≈€700/m² (≈€74,200) yielding an effective ≈€918/m² vs regional median €520. Listing also reports un‑sanated abusive works and says the images are not the real photos, so proceed with caution.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The supplied photos show sleek, modern interiors that suggest a very attractive finished home, but the actual lot is an auctioned villa in need of renovation with unregularised works. Great bargain potential for someone willing to manage fixes and legal regularisation, but not move-in ready as-is.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€37,000 – €53,000

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€21,000 – €37,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Photos in the listing are indicative/stock and may not show the real condition of this villa
  • Property is listed as 'needs renovation' and the description mentions unauthorized works (opere abusive) to be regularised
  • Sale by auction — legal/administrative costs and procedures likely; property may not be immediately habitable

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.
