See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (legal and procedural risks) so it is not a standard sale. Price €42,106 for 212 m² plus estimated €200/m² renovation gives an effective ≈€399/m² vs local median €459/m², but the auction status and the ad saying the photos are not the real images make this a risky trap.
More on the house and the area
The pictures show a contemporary, marble-finished interior that feels move-in ready and very attractive, and the asking price is a clear bargain for the square metreage. However the ad warns the images are generic and this is an auction sale, so confirm the real condition, the presence of a bathroom and any legal/condominium issues before dreaming of moving in.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 are stated as indicative and may not be the actual unit — verify real photos and plans.
- Property is sold at auction — legal/technical due diligence required.
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms in the facts despite bathroom photos; confirm layout and services.
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.
