Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Despite the attractive €447/m² asking price for 165 m², the listing explicitly states that the apartment is being sold through judicial enforcement proceedings, making it a trap under the catalog rules. The description lists three bathrooms, while the property data reports none, and the condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, solid-looking two-level home with a tiled roof, many shuttered windows, paved access, and some mature greenery around it. The exterior appears usable rather than derelict, and the description lists a living room, kitchen, three bathrooms, and two bedrooms, but the lack of interior photos makes actual livability and renovation needs uncertain.
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 – €18,000
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 is not shown, so the quality of the kitchen, bathrooms, systems, and finishes cannot be verified.
- The property is being sold through an enforcement/auction procedure, requiring careful legal and procedural checks.
- It is an ordinary urban home on a public street, with no scenic view and limited private outdoor space.
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 55/100This cluster sits in the built-up area of Ferrara, so the lived setting is the flat lower Po plain with urban streets, modern outskirts and agricultural land around the city. The Po di Volano runs through Ferrara, and the Po and its branch canals shape the wider landscape of reclaimed farmland and embankments. Ferrara is the nearest town of size and has the Este Castle, the Renaissance Addizione Erculea and the cathedral area. Ferrara is on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its historic centre and its planned Renaissance expansion. The area is known for the Po plain, land reclamation and cycling routes on the embankments.
