What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

The listing is explicitly an auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog despite the low asking price of €62,476 (€242/m²). It is described as habitable, so I estimate about €200/m² renovation, but the auction status overrides price attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached house with a private garden, driveway and plenty of space for the money. But the look is very ordinary: no view, no old-world charm, and the interiors shown are serviceable rather than beautiful. It feels like a practical bargain home more than a dream-Italian wow property.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Plain 1980s suburban setting with no notable view or historic character
- Exterior shows some facade wear/peeling and would benefit from refresh
- Interiors appear dated and only partially shown
- Auction sale: documentation/occupancy status should be checked carefully
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 37/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and irrigation canals around the Secchia and Po valley system. The nearest larger town is Mantova, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links. The area is known for intensive farming and for the Gonzaga name tied to the Mantuan dynasty.
