This is a judicial-auction lot described as 'al rustico' (not habitable). At €12,150 plus an estimated €1,100/m² renovation (~€242k) the effective price is ≈€1,155/m² versus the regional baseline €260/m², so this is an auction shell, not a ready dwelling.
More on the house and the area
Photos show clean, modern, move‑in‑ready interiors (nice floors and a contemporary bathroom) that feel like a comfortable home. However the paperwork describes a shell-like unit and the listing images may not be the actual rooms—confirm the perizia and auction conditions before assuming the shown finish.
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€87,000 – €129,000
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 ad itself warns the photos are indicative — the legal description says the unit is 'al rustico' (under construction) so the real condition may differ.
- This is an auction lot — expect legal/administrative steps and check the perizia before bidding.
- No outdoor space or scenic views shown in the photos; verify parking and land details.
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.
