See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale listing) for 290 m2 at €62,504 (€216/m2); estimated renovation €200/m2 → effective ≈ €416/m2 vs regional median €658/m2. The listing warns photos are only indicative (no real photos provided), so despite the apparent discount the auction status and lack of real images make this high-risk.
More on the house and the area
The photos show modern, move-in-ready interiors (smart kitchen, bathroom and new floors) and a large multi-level townhouse with an upper terrace that reportedly has a sea view. It’s an appealing, inexpensive opportunity but sold at auction and sits in an older building with a damaged façade — budget for legal/condominium repairs and verify the exact unit photos and condition.
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€19,000 – €32,000
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 sold at auction — expect legal/administrative steps and delays
- Listing notes say images may be indicative and not the exact flat — verify real photos and planimetry
- Building exterior shows neglected façade and common areas that likely need repair
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.
