See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ("in asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap verdict. The text also says the house is in very poor condition and needs renovation, implying about €1,100/m² renovation on top of the €39,790 price.
More on the house and the area
This is a large town house with some usable volume, but the photos show very little beauty or dream-home appeal. The main living rooms are enclosed and still standing, yet the whole property feels neglected and cluttered, with the courtyard/outbuilding section in particularly bad shape. At this price and size it has bargain appeal, but it reads as a heavy project rather than a beautiful home to move into.
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€147,000 – €216,000
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.
- Poor overall condition with major renovation needed
- Courtyard/outbuilding area shows serious deterioration
- Bathroom/kitchen are dated and likely not readily usable without work
- Auction property with systems and compliance to be verified
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 52/100This is in the Lomellina, a flat part of the western Po plain with extensive rice fields, irrigation canals and straight rural roads. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie to the east, with river woodland, wetland areas and old gravel banks. Vigevano is the nearest larger town, with Piazza Ducale, the Castello Sforzesco and the services of a substantial provincial centre. The area is known for rice cultivation.
