This is a judicial auction (Tribunale) and the listing states the 128 m² building is 'fatiscente e in stato di abbandono', so heavy restoration is required. At an estimated €1,100/m² the effective cost is ~€1,258/m² (€160,975 total) despite the €20,175 starting price, and the ad warns photos are only indicative — high legal and condition risk.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show bright, modern interiors and a luxurious bathroom, but the auction description warns the building is abandoned and in bad repair. This is a bargain investment or renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream 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€51,000 – €75,000
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 text states the building is in poor condition, fatiscente and abandoned — not move-in ready.
- Advert says the photos are indicative and do not represent the real property; the shown interiors may not be the actual rooms.
- Likely major structural, roof and systems (water/electric/heating) work and possible condominium/legal issues.
- No private garden, view or historic character visible; exterior is a tired high‑rise block.
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.
