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 a judicial auction listing ('vendita giudiziaria', 'aste giudiziarie'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low ask of €36,000 (€396/m²). The ad also gives limited practical living detail beyond the auction framing, so it is not a normal retail residential deal.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a very basic rural-edge townhouse rather than a dream-home listing, with no proven views, character, or standout exterior appeal. The price is extremely low for 91 sqm, but the photo evidence does not show a beautiful or inviting home. Without interior photos, the claimed habitable condition cannot lift it beyond a low score.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- No interior photos, so actual livability is unproven.
- Exterior looks plain and somewhat neglected, with overgrown surroundings.
- Listed as habitable but 0 bathrooms in the facts creates a practical red flag.
- Auction sale adds complexity beyond a normal purchase.
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 35/100This is the flat central Po plain, with fields, drainage canals and scattered settlements around the old market town pattern of the Bolognese lowlands. The Panaro runs a few kilometres to the west and the area lies between the plain-side towns of San Giovanni in Persiceto and Cento; for a wider range of services, Bologna is the nearest major city. The area is known for intensive agriculture and food production typical of the Emilian plain.
