This is a judicial auction ('asta immobiliare') and the description says the villa and outbuildings are 'parzialmente diruta', which is a veto-level risk for this catalog. Even before legal/auction complexity, a rough restoration at about €1,100/m² would dwarf the €56,250 asking price.
More on the house and the area
There is some faded rural character here: an old farmhouse facade, shutters, gate pillars and a sizeable plot. But the photos and description show a partially ruined, overgrown complex with debris and no evidence of usable finished interiors. At this price it is a cheap restoration project, not an immediately livable dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€150,000 – €222,000
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.
- Partially derelict complex; not realistically move-in ready
- No bathroom shown and interiors appear inaccessible/filled with debris
- Overgrown grounds and outbuildings need major clearing and restoration
- Auction sale: documentation and actual condition 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 34/100This is the flat Po plain around the lower course of the Secchia, with farmland, drainage canals and scattered industrial and logistics areas along the road network. The Po is a short distance to the north, and Guastalla is the nearest larger centre in the area with services and a historic core; Suzzara and Carpi are also important nearby service towns. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the earthquake-rebuilt settlements of the lower Emilian plain.
