What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction involving multiple buildings, deposits, a restaurant, and a storage outbuilding, so the advertised €76,500 price is not a straightforward purchase price for a conventional villa. The listing also does not clarify which parts are legally residential or the total costs and conditions of the auction.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious rural villa set among mature trees and garden-like grounds, with a pleasant private-country feel. The listing calls it habitable and includes a garage, cellar, heating, balcony, and terrace, but the exterior is ordinary rather than spectacular and the photo provides little evidence of interior quality.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Auction purchase adds legal, financing, and timeline complexity.
- The single exterior photo shows a leafy rural plot but does not establish the interior condition or bathroom/kitchen usability.
- The property appears dated and the large 224 sqm size may imply meaningful upkeep and renovation costs.
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 33/100This is the lower Ferrara plain, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and drainage works as the dominant landscape. The Po di Volano and the wetland belt of the Valli di Comacchio are the main named natural features in the wider area, but they lie outside the immediate 15 km radius. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status, but it is beyond the local landscape around Portomaggiore. The area is known for arable farming and for the bonifica landscape of the eastern Po plain.
