At €57,000 for 92 m² (€620/m²), the price is below the local €854/m² reference, and the property includes a garden and separate garage. However, the listing explicitly states it is being sold through judicial enforcement proceedings, while its condition and renovation needs are not stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a tidy, traditional two-storey row house with wooden shutters, exposed eaves, a separate garage, and a described private garden. It appears to be a genuine usable home rather than a ruin, but the exterior is fairly plain and the missing interior gallery makes condition and livability uncertain.
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 – €32,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the actual finish, kitchen, bathrooms, and habitability cannot be verified.
- The property is being sold through an enforcement/foreclosure procedure, which adds legal and timing complexity.
- Urban main-road setting with heavy parking and no visible scenic view; the exclusive garden is described but not 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 38/100This is the flat central Po plain between Bologna and Modena, with arable land, drainage canals and scattered farmhouses around the built-up town. The Reno river runs to the east of the area, and the Samoggia is nearby to the west. Bologna is the nearest large city and provides the main rail, services and airport access. San Giovanni in Persiceto is known locally for its agricultural plain setting and as one of the main centres of the north-western Bolognese plain.
