See what needs doing and what each job costs
This €71,250, 113 m² home is being sold through a judicial auction, which makes it a veto case despite its apparent €631/m² pricing. The listing also states that cadastral and building conformity is not compliant, adding legal and technical risk.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, colorful single-family villa with a fenced front garden, terrace, garage, and a clearly usable residential form. It is habitable rather than a renovation shell, but the suburban setting and ordinary 1980s architecture limit the wow factor; auction and conformity issues are important practical cautions.
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 possible extra legal and financing complexity.
- The listing states cadastral/building conformity is not compliant, requiring document review.
- No bathroom is recorded in the supplied facts, despite the home being described as habitable.
- The exterior is attractive but offers no notable historic character or exceptional view.
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.
