What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (venduto dal tribunale) and so carries legal complexity beyond a normal sale; listed price €37,356 for 180 m² (~€208/m²). The ad data are contradictory (description mentions a bathroom but the baths field is 0), reducing reliability.
More on the house and the area
Charming historic townhouse with a lovely private courtyard, stone columns and a classic facade — very photogenic and centrally located. The apartment appears intact and livable but dated, so expect renovation/brightening work and confirm facilities; price/auction status makes it a strong bargain opportunity.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 auction (asta) — legal/administrative process and checks required.
- Interiors are dated and somewhat dark; cosmetic updating and modernization likely needed.
- Photos do not clearly show a working bathroom or recent kitchen — confirm sanitary fittings/utilities.
- Access/parking and parts of the courtyard are common — check condo obligations.
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.
