This is a tribunal auction listing and the text calls the villa “grezzo avanzato” (unfinished) despite the condition field saying Renovated. Price €71,719 / 165 m² = €435/m²; estimated finishing €700/m² → ~€1,135/m² effective, so this is an auction-risk property and flagged accordingly.
More on the house and the area
Large three‑storey villa with garage and good square metres — a real bargain on paper — but sold as an unfinished shell. The supplied photos are glossy/finished examples and not the real interiors; this is a project rather than a move‑in home without further investment.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€33,000 – €58,000
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 images are indicative only — the photos shown are not of the actual unit.
- Property described in the legal text as "grezzo avanzato" (advanced shell): likely no finished bathrooms/kitchen and internal finishes unfinished.
- Significant completion work (plumbing, electrical, flooring/fixtures, permits) will be required before it is move-in ready.
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.
