This is explicitly an auction listing ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The 1,535 sqm figure is also contradicted by the text, where that size refers to agricultural land rather than the villa, so the computed €57/m² is not a reliable house price metric.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached villa with a covered terrace, garden and extra agricultural land, so it feels genuinely livable rather than a project. The house appears solid and habitable with finished kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, but the setting is plain rural lowland rather than beautiful or dramatic. Good value for the amount of house and land, yet the wow comes more from space and ownership potential than from charm or scenery.
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€101,000 – €171,000
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.
- Flat agricultural setting with no scenic view
- Exterior and interiors are practical rather than characterful
- Auction sale: documentation/occupancy details need checking
- Some surrounding sheds/roadside context reduce romance
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 46/100The cluster lies in the flat western Po plain between the Ticino valley and the rice country of eastern Novara. The Ticino River and the Parco del Ticino are within reach to the east, with riverside woods, canals and farmland. Novara is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic centre and services; Milan is also part of everyday gravity from this area but does not change the landscape. The area is known for rice fields and irrigated plain agriculture.
