See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (RGE/asta), so sale carries auction-specific legal and financial risks; asking price €45,825 for an estimated 270 m² (≈€170/m²). The acts reportedly omit the official surface and the ad warns the photos are placeholders, so key documentation is missing and the listing is contradictory.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show a clean, modern and move‑in‑ready renovation with attractive open living and a stylish bathroom. However the exterior/view are unattractive and the images appear not to match the advertised villa-with-garden, so this feels like a habitable but uninspiring property rather than a dreamy Italian villa.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €30,000
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.
- Photos look inconsistent/indicative and may not show the actual villa described
- No garden, land or attractive exterior is visible — one photo shows a drab high‑rise façade
- Some fixtures/finishes appear unfinished (exposed toilet connections)
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.
