This is a €20,000 auction property that is explicitly not habitable, with four units requiring extensive work across 463 m². The roof is precarious and the building lacks bathrooms, systems, and many windows, making the effective project cost far higher than the €43/m² asking figure.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large central palazzo with an internal courtyard, offered at an unusually low price, but the available images do not show a beautiful or characterful home. It is a non-habitable renovation project with a precarious roof, missing bathrooms and utilities, unfinished interiors, and safety concerns—not a realistic move-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€183,000 – €271,000
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 building is explicitly non-habitable and requires a full renovation.
- The roof is in precarious condition, with a dangerous section of cornice and a potentially hazardous tree.
- There are no bathrooms, systems, interior windows, or finished interior spaces; renovation costs could be very substantial.
- The listing is an auction property, so legal, structural, and access checks are 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 38/100This is flat rice-country in the Lomellina, part of the western Po plain between the Po and Sesia river systems. The area around Candia Lomellina is dominated by irrigated fields, canals, farmsteads and straight local roads. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, with the Parco del Po Piemontese on the opposite bank near Valenza and Casale Monferrato. Mortara is the nearest town of some size in the area, with rail connections and everyday services; Vercelli and Casale Monferrato are also close enough to matter for shopping and administration. The area is known for rice cultivation.
