See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale Pesaro, RGE referenced) which adds legal/procedural risk. Listed at €11,120 for 170 m² with an estimated €200/m² renovation (effective ≈ €45,120 total, ≈ €265/m² vs regional baseline €449), the price is low but auction status and the announcement's note that images are not real reduce reliability.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show a bright, recently-updated 170 m² townhouse with modern finishes, open-plan living and a small private outdoor area — clearly a usable home. At ~€11k this is an exceptional bargain, but the images may be illustrative only and you should confirm condition, utilities and auction/legal details before buying.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Listing photos are marked as indicative and may not show the actual unit.
- Property sold via auction — check legal/title, outstanding charges and bidding process.
- Verify utilities, finishes and number of bathrooms on the real unit before purchase.
- Exterior/building is plain and there’s no notable view shown.
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 sits in the inland Marche hills in the upper Cesano valley, with cultivated ridges, woods and folded low Apennine country around it. The Cesano river runs through Pergola. The nearest higher ground is the Apennine belt toward Catria and Nerone to the west, visible in the wider area and reached by road in well under an hour, but not inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Pergola is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre; it is known above all for the Gilded Bronzes of Cartoceto kept in its museum. Fossombrone and Cagli are the other main service towns in the wider inland corridor.
