This is a judicial auction (auction data in the ad), so the sale carries legal/possession risk and is vetoed here. Price €17,381 for 219 m² (≈€79/m²) is far below the Lombardia baseline €406/m², but condition is unspecified so I estimate ~€700/m² renovation (effective ~€780/m²).
More on the house and the area
Nice valley view from the balcony and original wooden beams/stonework give real rustic character. The building is a solid, roofed townhouse with a working kitchen and basic toilet, but interiors are cluttered and many floors, finishes and the attic/roof need significant renovation. Good low‑price opportunity for someone prepared to do a careful restoration.
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€43,000 – €77,000
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.
- Significant renovation required — floors, finishes and plaster need work
- Attic/roof area shows rubble/partial collapse and needs structural inspection
- Interior is cluttered and currently used for storage; not move‑in ready
- Only a basic WC/kitchen installed — limited modern amenities
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.
