Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Despite the very low €18,900 asking price (€167/m²), the listing explicitly states that the property is being sold through an enforcement proceeding, making it a judicial auction. The recorded bathroom count conflicts with the description, and the condition is not stated, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A substantial two-storey rural Emilia-Romagna house with handsome exposed brickwork, a traditional terracotta roof and a genuinely atmospheric agricultural setting. The structure appears roofed and complete rather than a ruin, but the lack of interiors, absent confirmed bathroom count and closed-up openings make it a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€22,000 – €40,000
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, utilities, kitchen and bathroom usability are unclear.
- The boarded or shuttered openings and weathered exterior suggest meaningful renovation may be needed.
- This is an auction/executive-procedure property, requiring careful legal and occupancy checks.
- Rural access is via narrow roads and the property appears surrounded by farmland rather than a village center.
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 39/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the settlements. The Po di Volano and the wetland areas of the Valli di Comacchio are within this part of eastern Ferrara province, and the Po Delta Regional Park begins to shape the landscape farther east. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status for the Este city and its Po Delta cultural landscape. The area is known for reclaimed lowland agriculture and wetlands toward the Adriatic side of the province.
