What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The property is offered at a judicial auction. Estimated renovation ≈€700/m² (181 m² → €126,700) makes the effective price ≈€162,420 (≈€897/m²), far above the regional median of €350/m²; the listing also states photos are only indicative/not real.
More on the house and the area
The photos show bright, modern, highly photogenic interiors, but the listing warns images are illustrative. The real townhouse appears solid and sizeable (181 m²) with at least one unfinished bathroom and external outbuildings in poor condition, so it’s a bargain for someone prepared to manage renovation and the auction process.
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€36,000 – €64,000
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 the photos are indicative, not actual photos of the property
- Second bathroom reported as not completed
- External accessory structures (tettoie) described as in very poor condition
- Property is sold at auction — legal/administrative checks and fees likely required
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.
