This is a judicial auction and described as an unfinished 'unità al rustico' (in corso di costruzione) while the listing claims 'Renovated' and uses generic images — contradictory and not habitable as-is. At €12,150 plus an estimated €1,100/m² rebuild (€≈254,150 total, ≈€1,155/m²) versus the regional median €260/m², this is not a ready-to-live bargain.
More on the house and the area
Bright, airy loft-like interiors with new floors, skylights and a modern bathroom give a genuinely livable feel. However the building exterior is an ordinary block with no scenic setting, and the paperwork/photos warn the real unit may be a shell — insist on the real photos and perizia before bidding.
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative and may not be the actual unit — verify real images/planimetry before bidding
- Public records/description also call the unit 'al rustico' (in corso di costruzione) despite finished-looking pictures — condition may differ on site
- No private outdoor space or notable views shown; building exterior is a plain apartment block
- This is an auction lot — legal/technical checks and additional costs apply
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.
