The €34,500 offer is for a judicial auction, so it is excluded despite the low €160/m² asking price. With renovation estimated at about €700/m² for the 216 m² home, including reported mould and barely sufficient condition, the effective cost is roughly €860/m² before auction-related risks.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial three-storey townhouse with some traditional character, including an old brick-and-plaster facade, arched openings, and exposed timber ceilings. The main house appears basically functional, but it is dated and visibly in need of renovation, with reported mold and no compelling view, garden, or standout interior; it feels more like a practical low-cost project than a 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€43,000 – €76,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The property is described as needing renovation, with only barely sufficient overall conditions and mold in some areas.
- The interiors appear usable but dated, dark, and cluttered; the separate 100 sqm storage building requires recovery and was not inspected inside.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal, technical, occupancy, and cost verification.
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 34/100The area lies in the lower Po plain, with flat farmland and drainage canals around the Po River system. The Po runs nearby and defines the landscape more than any relief. The nearest larger town of size is Legnago, which has the usual services and rail connections for the middle Adige-Po plain. This part of the Polesine and border area between Veneto and Lombardy is known for arable farming and river embankments.
