See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is offered via judicial auction—buy only after full court-document and legal checks. Listed at €72,001 for 221 m² (~€326/m²) vs regional median ~€365/m²; I estimate ~€200/m² to modernize, but auction/legal risk makes this unsuitable for a normal private-sale purchase.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two‑storey home with a small private garden and garage/wood‑store — a real, usable house rather than a ruin. Not especially photogenic or historic, but functional rooms and bathrooms are in place; the brick outbuilding needs work and buying at auction requires legal checks. Good value for someone wanting a liveable home to refresh.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Property sold at judicial auction — expect legal due diligence and court-file checks
- Brick outbuilding/garage shown is unfinished and needs structural/roof repairs
- Interiors are lived-in but dated; cosmetic updating 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.
