See what needs doing and what each job costs
Property is offered in a judicial auction and carries the legal/possession risks that make it unsuitable for a straightforward purchase. Price €15,000 (€123/m²) is far below the local median €306/m², but auction status is a veto until cleared.
More on the house and the area
A two-unit rural villa with barn/portico and private garden — roof looks intact and the property is listed as habitable. At €15k this is a serious bargain for someone happy to modernize and handle an auction purchase. Interiors aren’t shown, so expect renovation work and auction-related costs/time.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Only one exterior photo provided — interior condition, systems and finishes unknown
- Sold at auction — additional legal fees, timelines and risks apply
- Listed as habitable but likely needs cosmetic updating (kitchen/bathrooms) and modernization
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.
