- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (court sale). With an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€49k), the effective price is €78,812 total (~€1,126/m²) vs local median €365/m²; listing also states images are indicative, lowering confidence for buyers.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show bright, recently‑finished rooms with a fitted kitchen and modern bathroom, so the apartment could be comfortable if those images are accurate. However the building and exterior are ordinary urban blocks with no view or historic charm, and the auction listing warns the property needs renovation — expect legal process and condition uncertainty.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Photos in the ad are stated as indicative and may not show the actual unit.
- The auction listing and property facts note 'needs renovation' — legal/renovation risks and extra costs likely.
- Urban, mid‑rise setting with no scenic views; noisy/traffic exposure possible.
- Discrepancies in the listing (photos show finished rooms but facts/price indicate an auction property) — verify bathrooms/utilities and condition 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.
