See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction (Tribunale Pavia) — auction listings are a legal veto and thus treated as a trap. Listed €60,000 (75 m2 = €800/m2) vs regional median €407/m2; habitable → est. €200/m2 renovation (€15,000) gives effective ≈€75,000 (≈€1,000/m2), and the ad states images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
Bright, simple interiors with good wooden floors make this a liveable two-room apartment that feels move-in ready. However the worn exterior courtyard and limited garage access point to building-level repairs and practical limits that reduce the immediate 'dream home' appeal; confirm real photos and technical checks before proceeding.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Listing states the gallery images are indicative/not the real photos — verify real photos and floorplans before bidding.
- Exterior courtyard façade is visibly in poor repair and the building looks aged, so common-area maintenance/repairs are likely.
- The garage is currently used as storage and the car access is restricted (may not fit a medium-sized vehicle).
- Basement/boiler room layout and the basement bathroom appear improvised — check legal/usable status and damp/ventilation.
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.
