What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly states that the property is in judicial enforcement proceedings, making it a high-risk auction purchase rather than a standard sale. At €30,000 (€191/m² before renovation), the price is attractive, but the condition is not stated and the listing details conflict on the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial rural brick house with some traditional character, shutters and open farmland around it, but there is no compelling view or standout architectural feature. The roof appears intact and the description indicates a complete two-storey layout with a bathroom, yet the exterior is heavily cluttered and neglected, so it looks like a cleanup and renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- The property is sold through an enforcement procedure/auction.
- Exterior photos show heavy clutter, overgrown areas and substantial neglect; interior condition is not shown.
- Bathroom and utilities are stated in the description but should be verified, as the listing facts show no confirmed bathrooms.
- The narrow rural access road and surrounding agricultural setting may feel isolated.
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 42/100This is the lower Po plain around the Valli di Comacchio and the Argenta wetlands. The Valli di Argenta are within the local area and form part of the Po Delta Regional Park, with reclaimed farmland, canals, embankments and lagoon-like freshwater basins. Comacchio is the nearest distinctive town in the wider area, with services and a historic centre tied to the lagoon landscape. The area is known for wetlands, birdlife, eel fishing and land reclamation.
