See what needs doing and what each job costs
The announcement is a judicial auction and the description calls it 'terreno' (land) while the facts label it a Villa, so it cannot be confirmed as a legal dwelling. Price €97,032 with a habitable renovation assumption €200/m² (~€57,000) gives an effective ≈€540/m², but the auction/land status is a veto.
More on the house and the area
A large rural villa with intact roof, roomy living areas, covered veranda and a sunny terrace overlooking the countryside — private grounds and a secluded feel. The house is habitable but messy and needs cosmetic renovation and services-checks; priced attractively for a buyer willing to clean/upgrade and complete auction due diligence.
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€19,000 – €32,000
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 being sold at auction — verify title/fees and required legal checks
- Habitable but cosmetically run-down: clutter, peeling plaster and patches of disrepair throughout
- Check utilities/heating and bathrooms (small/dated) and possible damp/finish work needed
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.
