What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is a judicial auction (repeatedly advertised as 'asta'), which carries legal and purchase complexities. The asking price €44,000 for 335 m² (€131/m²) looks very low but the auction route makes this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
Attractive painted villa with arched windows, shutters and a stone base that reads as a solid, characterful multi-unit home. With 335 sqm at €44k it’s a clear bargain and appears livable, but auction purchase and lack of interior photos mean expect paperwork and possible cosmetic or systems work.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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 — purchasing involves legal/process complexity and timing.
- Only one exterior photo available; interior condition and systems not shown.
- May need cosmetic works or updates despite being described as 'habitable'; utilities/certifications not documented.
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.
