What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 298 sqm, the ask is €268/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €968/sqm, well above the low stock baseline of €472/sqm in Emilia-Romagna. The description includes a ground-floor shop/storage area and a non-habitable attic, so not all 298 sqm are straightforward residential value, which weakens the deal despite the low entry price.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable townhouse complex rather than a ruin, with some nice character from the timber-beam ceilings and a decent rear garden with extra buildings. But the overall feel is plain and tired rather than beautiful, and the house needs significant updating to become an appealing home. The low €/m² helps, yet the wow comes more from size and potential than from current charm.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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 area around
Location score 34/100This is the flat Po plain around the lower course of the Secchia, with reclaimed agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farm buildings. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north and marks the Lombardy border. Guastalla and Suzzara are the nearest larger centres for daily services, and Reggio Emilia, Mantua and Carpi are the nearest historic provincial towns within normal driving distance. The area is known for intensive farming and for being part of the Emilian food-producing plain.
