See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction (Tribunale), which adds legal and timing risk. Asking €93,713 for 207 m2 (€453/m2); with an estimated €200/m2 for finishing (≈€41,400) the effective cost is ≈€135,113 (≈€652/m2), but auction status makes this a risky purchase for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Bright, modern interiors (skylights, wood floors, renovated bathrooms) give this townhouse real live-in appeal, while the street façade photos suggest attractive historic surroundings. The home is listed as habitable and feels move-in ready, but the agency’s note that images are indicative and the fact it’s an auction sale mean you should confirm the real photos, outdoor spaces and legal/title details before bidding.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 notes the photos are indicative and may not show the actual unit — verify real gallery and floorplans.
- Property is offered at auction (legal/registration process) — require specialist assistance.
- No clear photos of the private garden/area and external entrance despite description; confirm outdoor space and garage.
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.
