This is a judicial-auction lot offered at €90,390 for 659 m² but the description states the units are 'allo stato rustico' (unfinished) despite the 'Renovated' tag; I estimate €1,100/m² to complete (effective ≈ €815k, ≈ €1,237/m²). Auction status, the clear contradiction about condition, and missing definitive data/planimetries make this a high-risk buy.
More on the house and the area
Photos show attractive modern interiors and a handsome historic facade, but the legal description states the two large units are unfinished shells. This is a very affordable, photogenic town property for someone ready to invest in completing and converting the space into a real home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€261,000 – €386,000
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 is described in the perizia as 'allo stato rustico' — units lack internal finishes, windows, partitions and full systems.
- Access/entrance issues noted: the main entrance from Corso Umberto I is currently bricked up; only a secondary access is usable.
- Concessione edilizia is expired — completion will likely require permits/regularization and possibly change-of-use if you want residential.
- Large commercial shell (659 m²) — substantial work and conversion costs should be expected despite the attractive price.
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.
