See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with a €24,000 minimum offer, so it is not a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking a normal livable home. The listing describes two bathrooms while the key facts report none, and the condition is not clearly documented.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable two-storey country house rather than an empty shell, with furnished interiors, a working kitchen and bathroom, exposed roof beams, a fireplace and generous surrounding green space. Its rural Emilia-Romagna setting and traditional farmhouse character are appealing, but the exterior is worn and damp-stained, so it is charming rather than a polished 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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Exterior shows substantial weathering, staining and likely damp-related maintenance needs.
- The property is being sold at auction, with legal, occupancy and condition verification still important.
- Rural access appears via an unpaved track, and the energy rating 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 58/100The area is on the western Emilia plain around the Arda valley, with cultivated flat land and low first hills beginning to the south. The Arda river is the nearest named watercourse. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which has the main city services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. Castell’Arquato lies within the local area and is known for its preserved hilltop historic centre; it is one of I Borghi più belli d’Italia and has Bandiera Arancione status. This part of the province is known for mixed agriculture and for the transition from Po plain to the first Apennine hills.
