Despite the €22,781 asking price (€135/m²), the description explicitly identifies a Tribunal auction and says the images are indicative rather than real. The listing also gives conflicting energy classes (F and G), so the apparent discount does not outweigh the auction risk and uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The colorful historic-town setting and very low price suggest potential, especially for a large 169 m² townhouse with garage and courtyard. However, the interior photos are explicitly non-representative, so there is no reliable proof of beauty, condition, or true move-in livability; this is a speculative auction bargain rather than a proven dream 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€11,000 – €19,000
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 photos are illustrative and not the actual property, so condition and interior quality cannot be verified.
- Court-auction purchase requires legal, cadastral and occupancy checks, with possible added costs and delays.
- The ultra-low price is attractive but the listing has inconsistent bathroom information and no confirmed real-property gallery.
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 38/100The cluster lies in the Po plain beside the Po River, in a flat landscape of embankments, fields, irrigation channels and scattered farm buildings. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of size and has the main services and a developed historic center on the Po. This stretch of lower Cremona province is known for agriculture and for riverplain settlements between the Po and Oglio basins.
