This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Pisa) so it is sold at court and flagged as an auction risk. Listed at €91,125 and described as habitable (estimated €200/m² → ≈€36,400 renovation, effective ≈€127,525 or ≈€701/m², above the local median €533/m²), and the ad notes images are not real.
More on the house and the area
The photos show a recently refreshed, neutral interior with new flooring, modern lighting and a usable bathroom — a move-in or light-refurbish home inside. The building and courtyard are ordinary, but at the listed price and with garage/resede included this is a real low-cost Tuscany opportunity if you accept the unremarkable external setting and auction process.
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.
- This is an auction property — expect legal/administrative steps and possible occupancy/claims to resolve.
- Exterior photos show a plain inner-city courtyard and neighbouring blocks, so no scenic views or attractive façade.
- Some listing images appear to be indicative/stock—confirm the real photos, planimetry and exact finishes before bidding.
- Check exact bathroom count and usable condition of all rooms despite the ‘habitable’ label. Verify utilities and access.
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 58/100The area lies in the hills between the lower Arno plain and the Valdera, with mixed farmland, olive groves and wooded slopes. The nearest river landscape of note is the Arno plain to the north, while the coast around Tirrenia and Livorno is beyond the immediate 15 km radius. Lari has a substantial hilltop historic centre with a castle. Pontedera is the nearest larger town, with full services and rail links. The area is known for thermal waters at Casciana Terme and for the agricultural hill country of inland Pisa province.
