See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (legal risks) so it's flagged as a trap. Price €30,834 + estimated renovation €200/m² → effective ≈ €96,234 total (~€294/m²), but purchase via auction needs court-doc review.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, characterful town building with striking vaulted interiors and a classic balcony façade — a real, usable house with commercial ground floor and a large rooftop terrace. At this price it’s a clear bargain but expect to do some finishing/roof repairs and to check auction/legal paperwork and any change-of-use requirements.
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€21,000 – €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 is an auction listing — perform legal/title due diligence before bidding.
- Ground floor is fitted out as a commercial bar; check change-of-use or income potential if you want pure residential use.
- Roof terrace and rooftop structures show wear and will need repairs/waterproofing; some interiors and bathrooms are dated and cluttered.
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.
