This is being sold at judicial auction (Tribunale), which carries extra legal/procedural risk and triggers a veto. Listed price €58,757 for 183 m² (~€321/m²) vs regional baseline €255/m²; condition marked Habitable so we estimate ~€200/m² in works, but the auction status makes this unsuitable for a normal purchase.
More on the house and the area
The photos show bright, modern, move-in-ready interiors and a sleek contemporary bathroom that feel very attractive. However the exterior image is a generic historic urban façade and the listing warns images are not the real property — confirm real photos, outdoor space and technical details before proceeding.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 listing states the photos are indicative and do not show the actual property — obtain real photos and plans.
- No clear images of private garden/land or real terraces despite 'villa' description.
- Unclear number/status of bathrooms and services in the actual asset; verify utilities and habitable certifications.
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.
