See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a judicial auction (“asta”) which creates legal and occupancy risks despite the low nominal price. Estimated renovation €200/m² gives an effective price ≈ €357/m² (≈€80.9k total), below the local median, but auction status makes this a high-risk purchase.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 1986 villa with a pleasant arched-veranda façade, private fenced garden and garage set in a quiet, scenic hillside hamlet — a very attractive exterior and real outdoor space. The price and size make this a true bargain for someone wanting a move-in or lightly refreshed country home, but it’s an auction property in a remote location and you should confirm occupancy, paperwork and full interior condition 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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Auction sale — requires legal due diligence and tribunal paperwork
- Property is occupied (per listing) — access/eviction could be an issue
- Remote hamlet location with narrow/winding road access
- Only exterior/gallery & maps shown — interior condition not fully documented
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.
