See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta), which greatly complicates purchase. At €39,487 for 130 m² plus estimated €200/m² renovation (€26,000) the effective price is €65,487 (~€503/m²), above the regional baseline of €435/m², and the listing warns photos may not match the unit.
More on the house and the area
A modern terraced townhouse set into a green hillside near Gallodoro with balconies, garage and private corte — solid, roofed and clearly habitable in parts. The unit is partly unfinished (missing internal stair) and will need finishing work, but at this low price it’s a realistic project to turn into a comfortable home.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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 parte allo stato rustico" and the internal self-supporting staircase is missing (finishing/structural work needed).
- Many photos are agency/stock images and logos — interior pictures may not show the actual apartment condition.
- No clear sea view shown in the photos; verify utilities, permits and exact state during viewing.
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.
