See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Novara), so it is being sold via auction rather than a normal market listing. Listed €28,500 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (€34,600) gives an effective €63,100 ≈ €365/m² vs regional baseline €350/m²; the ad also states photos are only indicative, so actual condition may differ.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, recently-finished-looking interiors (polished floors, modern kitchen and a large bathroom) make this a very liveable home, and the garage plus ~470 m² of adjacent land add real utility. However the exterior/neighbourhood are unremarkable and the listing warns the photos may be only indicative, so verify the actual condition and layout before proceeding.
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 – €19,000
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.
- Photos in the ad are marked as indicative and may not show the actual property — verify real photos/planimetry.
- Exterior shots suggest an ordinary apartment-block setting with no scenic view or historic character.
- Check number/status of bathrooms and utilities (listing data is inconsistent).
- Confirm condition of roof/attic and any common-area/condominium issues before bidding.
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.
