This is a judicial auction listing, which makes it a trap under the catalog rules regardless of the €35,212 asking price. The 90 m² estimate is not confirmed by the sale documents, the photos are only indicative, and the roof requires complete immediate renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial multi-level home in a colorful town-center setting, but there is no proven panoramic view, garden, or distinctive interior character. The property is roofed and potentially usable, yet the urgent roof work, unfinished attic, dated finishes, and uncertified systems make it a serious renovation project rather than a move-in dream 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€36,000 – €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.
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 listing states that the images are indicative and not photographs of the actual property.
- The roof requires complete and immediate renovation, and the attic is unfinished/rustic.
- The apartment needs modernization; installations are uncertified and the sale is by auction.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the lower foothills between the Adda valley and the Bergamo pre-Alps. The Adda runs nearby at Calusco and Capriate, and Lake Garlate and the Lecco branch of Lake Como are within about 15 km to the west. Monte Canto and the wooded ridges around Pontida and Val San Martino shape the immediate landscape. Lecco is the nearest town of size, with a lakefront, rail links and full services. Bergamo is also close, with a substantial historic centre and city services, but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for hill villages, wooded slopes and the transition from the Lombard plain to the pre-Alpine valleys.
