In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction, which carries legal and execution risks. Price €13,000 for 153 m² (~€85/m²) versus the regional baseline of €306/m² is very low, but auction status makes it unsuitable for a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
Very low‑price auction villa with garden, box and multiple levels — fundamentally usable but plain. Exterior photos are limited and the house will need due diligence and likely cosmetic work before full comfort.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Property sold at auction — legal/possession issues and extra costs possible
- Only a single, low-quality exterior photo is provided; interior condition and utilities are unverified
- Listing description has inconsistencies (bath count) — on-site inspection necessary
- Likely needs cosmetic updating despite being listed as habitable
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.
