At €38,000 (€264/m²), the 144 m² property is currently classified as a storage warehouse and requires complete demolition/reconstruction; residential conversion is only described as potentially permitted, not confirmed. The low purchase price does not offset the legal and redevelopment risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest old rural building with a generous grassy plot and some potential for a private garden, but it lacks a compelling view or standout architectural features. It is currently a storage property requiring complete renovation and conversion to residential use, so it is a redevelopment project rather than a home someone could realistically live in soon.
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€57,000 – €84,000
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.
- Complete renovation required; the property is currently registered as a warehouse/storage building, not a residence.
- No bathrooms, kitchen, or livable interior are shown, and residential conversion depends on planning permission.
- The structure appears weathered, with aging masonry, outbuildings, and possible roof/structural work to verify.
- Demolition and faithful reconstruction may be required under the local planning framework.
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 43/100The area lies on the Po plain beside the Po River, with reclaimed farmland, irrigation channels and embankments as the dominant landscape. Gualtieri is known for its planned Renaissance piazza and for links to Antonio Ligabue. Guastalla is the nearest town of some size and provides the usual services and rail connections, while Reggio Emilia is the main city for higher-level services farther south. This is lowland countryside rather than a hill or mountain setting.
