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 €71,250 home is being sold through a judicial auction, which carries legal, financing, and process risks despite the advertised €631/m² price. The listing also states that cadastral and building conformity is not compliant, while reporting no bathrooms, so the apparent discount is not reliable.
More on the house and the area
A well-kept single-story villa with a genuinely attractive private garden, covered veranda, tiled outbuilding/garage, and a pleasant family-home feel. The interior is furnished and usable rather than a renovation shell, although the style is dated and the auction and cadastral issues require careful due diligence.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€11,000 – €19,000
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 with tribunal documentation and bidding risks.
- The listing states cadastral/building conformity is not fully compliant, requiring verification and possible remediation.
- Interiors are clearly habitable but dated, and the advertised bathroom count is inconsistent with the photos.
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 39/100The Po runs by Ficarolo, in the broad lower Po plain of embankments, fields and riverside settlements. This is the Polesine landscape between the Po and its branches, with flat agricultural land and flood-control works as the dominant setting. Occhiobello is the nearest larger centre, and Ferrara is the nearest major city with full services and a large historic centre just beyond the provincial border. The area is known for river agriculture and for the history of floods and land reclamation in the lower Po.
