What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (sale by auction), which adds legal and buying complexity. After an estimated €200/m² renovation (€27,600 total) the effective price is ~€63,080 (~€457/m²) versus the regional median €533/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid, livable 1970s villa with a fully fenced private garden, garage, veranda and mountain/valley setting in a high-altitude borgo — very attractive for someone seeking a quiet country home. Interiors are described as habitable (marble floors, working heating) but a bit dated and some outbuildings are unfinished, so expect cosmetic updates and the usual auction paperwork.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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 is sold at judicial auction — expect legal/procedural steps and consult the perizia/documents
- Only one bathroom for four bedrooms and some outbuildings (cantina/legnaia/garage) are unfinished (al grezzo)
- Dated 1970s finishes — mostly habitable but will benefit from modernization; remote mountain location may mean limited services in winter
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.
