What it really costs

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 ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE', 'Custode Giudiziario'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €602/m² and the home is described as habitable, auction risk overrides price attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This is a functional terraced house with decent size, garage and balcony, but it has very little visual romance or Italian character. The structure looks intact and basically habitable, yet the presentation is tired and the interiors shown are bare and uninspiring. It feels more like a practical budget buy than a dream-home scroll stopper.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 suburban/roadside setting with no view or landscape appeal
- Exterior looks tired and closed up, with weathered shutters and neglected small garden
- Interiors appear basic and partly unfinished/empty rather than inviting
- Auction sale: details and condition should be verified 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 reclaimed agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farm buildings. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north and marks the Lombardy border. Guastalla and Suzzara are the nearest larger centres for daily services, and Reggio Emilia, Mantua and Carpi are the nearest historic provincial towns within normal driving distance. The area is known for intensive farming and for being part of the Emilian food-producing plain.
