Although the €23,250 asking price is far below the local €444/m² reference, the listing explicitly states that the property is being sold through judicial enforcement proceedings (procedura esecutiva). This is an auction-risk purchase rather than a straightforward home sale, and the condition is not clearly stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest traditional two-level townhouse with a tiled roof, wooden shutters, a private court, and a small piece of land—pleasant but not visually spectacular. The description indicates a usable layout with living areas, a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, although the lack of interior photos leaves livability and renovation needs uncertain. At €23,250, the price is the main attraction, especially for a buyer seeking an inexpensive base in Emilia-Romagna.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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 condition, kitchen, bathroom, and systems cannot be verified.
- The exterior appears dated and somewhat neglected, with overgrown areas and likely cosmetic maintenance needs.
- The property is being sold through an enforcement/execution procedure, requiring careful legal and purchase 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 lower Ferrara plain, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and drainage works as the dominant landscape. The Po di Volano and the wetland belt of the Valli di Comacchio are the main named natural features in the wider area, but they lie outside the immediate 15 km radius. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status, but it is beyond the local landscape around Portomaggiore. The area is known for arable farming and for the bonifica landscape of the eastern Po plain.
