See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property at €18,000, and the €136/m² figure is unreliable because the lot includes multiple units while the published size covers only the main dwelling. The listing also says the images are indicative rather than real, so the apparent discount cannot offset the auction risk and incomplete information.
More on the house and the area
The advertised interiors look modern and livable, but they are not the actual home and therefore cannot support a beauty or condition premium. The real opportunity is the unusually low price and substantial mixed-use lot, but the peripheral setting and auction uncertainty make this more of a due-diligence bargain than a dream Italian 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€9,000 – €15,000
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 images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- This is an auction bundle with a home plus shop, warehouse, courtyard and two garages, so the published 132 m² figure may not describe the full lot.
- Legal, occupancy and maintenance conditions need to be checked in the court expert report; the energy class is G.
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 49/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat reclaimed farmland and drainage canals around the branches of the Po; the Po di Volano and the Po di Goro are the main nearby waterways in this part of the province. The Po Delta Regional Park lies nearby, especially toward the east around the Mesola woods, lagoons and wetlands. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status shared with the Po Delta. The area is known for arable farming and for the delta landscapes of water, embankments and fishing valleys farther east.
