This is being sold at judicial auction (asta), which carries legal/transactional risk so it's classified as a trap. Price EUR 45,450 for 92 m2 (~EUR 494/m2); listed as 'Habitable', so estimated renovation ~EUR 200/m2.
More on the house and the area
A solid 1986 villa with an attractive arched portico and private grounds — the shell and roof look intact so it’s a realistic home with work. Great value for the size (auction sale), but expect interior refit, likely bathroom installation and garden clearance before move-in.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interior is messy and needs renovation/cleanup
- No bathroom shown in listing — likely sanitary work required
- Overgrown grounds and site clearance needed
- Auction sale — verify legal/title and costs
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.
