See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for a straightforward home purchase regardless of the €157/m² asking price. The 478 m² property mixes an apartment, commercial premises, storage areas and a non-habitable attic, while the listing says the photos are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images suggest a polished modern interior, but the listing explicitly warns that they are not photos of the real property, so they provide no reliable beauty or character evidence. The actual asset is a large mixed-use rural complex described as habitable in part, but its commercial layout, shared utilities and additional rustic buildings make it a complicated project rather than an immediately compelling dream home.
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€32,000 – €53,000
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 listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not the actual property, so the apparent modern interiors cannot be credited.
- This is a mixed-use auction property with a bar/trattoria, apartment, storage buildings and a rustic structure—not a straightforward home.
- Utilities for the commercial and residential units share single meters, and the listing does not clearly document bathrooms or actual interior condition.
- The rustic outbuilding and non-habitable attic may require substantial work; legal and auction due diligence is essential.
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 41/100This is the Bassa Parmense on the Po plain, with flat agricultural land and irrigation canals around the settled areas. The Po is the main river landscape of the area, a few kilometres to the north, with embankments, poplar stands and riverside farmland. Busseto is the nearest small town of note and is closely linked with Giuseppe Verdi; nearby Roncole Verdi and Sant’Agata are part of that association. Fidenza and Parma are the nearest larger centres with full services and rail connections.
