- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta) listing and therefore flagged as a special-case purchase; the ad claims "Renovated" but the text describes neglect and need for riammodernamento. At €49,370 plus an estimated ~€700/m² of works (368 m²) the effective price is about €834/m² versus the regional baseline €306/m², so this is not a straightforward bargain.
More on the house and the area
Large three-level villa (368 m²) with garage, two terraces and attached land — a rare size/land package at a very low auction price. The building appears structurally intact with heating and outbuildings but is neglected and needs real renovation and permits checks before living in.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€73,000 – €129,000
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 described as in mediocre maintenance / substantial abandonment — needs modernization.
- Some of the grounds (wood and meadow) are subject to hydrogeological and landscape restrictions.
- Sale is by judicial auction — sold as-is and requires participation in the procedure.
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.
