See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta) — auction sales carry legal/risk complications; listed price €16,510 for 170 m². Estimating €200/m² renovation yields an effective ≈€50,510 total (≈€297/m²) vs regional median ≈€380/m², but the auction status makes this a trap for standard buyers.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable multi‑storey town house in central Mistretta with traditional stone/old‑town character and marble stairs. Interiors are plain but in usable condition and the price is a real bargain — great for someone wanting an affordable town home — but expect tight access, modest light and to check auction/legal details.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Narrow historic alley — tight access and scarce parking.
- Rooms have small/low windows so natural light is limited.
- Property sold at auction — check legal/title and any encumbrances.
- Heating noted as pellet and may only directly serve one space — verify system.
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.
