Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Despite the low asking price of €42,750 (€337/m²), the listing explicitly states that the property is being sold through a judicial enforcement procedure. This is a major legal and purchasing risk, so the apparent discount does not make it a suitable straightforward home purchase.
More on the house and the area
A charming, traditional Emilia-Romagna village house with a long tiled roof, colorful shutters, arched door details and a private courtyard. The 127 m² layout includes a living-dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, plus cellar and ancillary space, so it appears to be a genuine home rather than a shell. However, the dated exterior, lack of interior photos and auction status keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€25,000 – €44,000
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 kitchen, bathroom, heating and general livability cannot be verified.
- The terracotta roof and façades show age, staining and some maintenance needs.
- This is being sold through an enforcement auction, requiring careful legal and procedural checks.
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 34/100This is the eastern Bolognese plain in the lower Po Valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered hamlets. The Reno valley and the first Apennine relief are well beyond the immediate area, so within about 15 km the landscape is predominantly reclaimed plain rather than hill country. Bologna is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access, but it does not change the character of the immediate surroundings. The area is known mainly for arable farming and the network of waterways typical of the plain between Bologna and Ferrara.
