Despite the €91,650 price for a 94 m² apartment with garage, the listing explicitly states it is being sold through judicial enforcement procedure 320/2024. The listing also gives no condition details and conflicts on the bathroom count, so it is not a suitable straightforward purchase for a foreign buyer.
More on the house and the area
This is a conventional, reasonably maintained mid-rise apartment building with balconies, an elevator, and an included garage, but it offers little visual character or Italian-dream-home appeal. The apartment may be a practical urban home, yet its interior condition is unverified and the busy roadside setting significantly limits the wow factor.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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.
- Interior condition and bathroom fixtures are not shown; the listing facts record 0 bathrooms despite the description mentioning one.
- Located in a dense apartment building beside a busy arterial road, with no evident scenic view or private outdoor space.
- The property is in an executive/foreclosure procedure, requiring careful legal and auction due diligence.
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 33/100This is the central Po plain around Carpi, with flat agricultural land cut by canals and drainage works. The Secchia runs nearby to the east, and the area is shaped more by reclaimed plain and farming than by relief. Modena is the nearest major city, with the Romanesque cathedral and Piazza Grande, both part of the UNESCO listing of Modena. Carpi itself has a large historic centre focused on Piazza dei Martiri and the Palazzo dei Pio.
