What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('DATA ASTA', 'aste immobiliari'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is 432 EUR/m2 for a 165 sqm habitable villa, auction risk makes it unsuitable and forces a trap score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: furnished interiors, tiled floors, kitchen, stairs and bedrooms all look functional and habitable. But the wow factor is limited, with a very ordinary suburban setting, plain 2000s finishes and only modest outdoor space. At the price for 165 sqm it feels more practical bargain than dream-Italian-home fantasy.
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 – €18,000
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.
- Auction sale with typical legal/occupancy uncertainties.
- No bathroom is clearly shown in the photos despite the description listing two.
- Outdoor areas look basic and somewhat damp/worn.
- No view or notable character; setting appears ordinary suburban.
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 42/100The area is the lower Adda plain between the Adda and Serio river systems, with flat agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Adda River runs a few kilometres west of Formigara, with riparian woodland and embanked riverside stretches around places such as Pizzighettone and Crotta d’Adda. Pizzighettone is the nearest small town of note and has preserved walled stretches and a historic centre on the Adda. Cremona is the nearest city of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre.
