See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Pisa) offered at €95,343 (396 €/m2); treating condition as 'habitable' I estimate €200/m2 in works (≈€48,200) for an effective ≈€596/m2 vs regional baseline €658/m2. Auction status and the ad's disclaimer that images are not real make this unsuitable for a normal purchase without specialist auction handling.
More on the house and the area
Photos show a bright, recently-finished interior and a tasteful modern bathroom inside a handsome historic street facade, so this feels like a real, livable townhouse with strong visual appeal. However several images are clearly promotional/indicative and important areas (bedrooms, terrace/resede, full exterior) aren’t shown — confirm the actual condition and legal/auction details before assuming move-in readiness.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Several images look like staged/stock or are explicitly 'indicative' — they may not show the real unit.
- Limited real photos of bedrooms, terrace and the exclusive resede — verify outdoor space and full layout.
- Property is offered in an auction process (see listing) — check legal/title status and factor in auction costs and timing.
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.
The area around
Location score 49/100The cluster lies in the lower Arno plain on the Arno river, in a belt of flat land between Pisa and Florence with fields, embankments, canals and dispersed industry. Within this radius the main landscape feature is the Arno and the wetland edge of the Padule di Fucecchio area to the east, a large inland marsh shared with the neighboring provinces. San Miniato is the nearest larger historic town, set on a hill above the plain, with a substantial old center and a well-known white truffle tradition. The area around Santa Croce sull'Arno is known for its leather and tanning district.
