- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly being sold at judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for this catalog regardless of the attractive €160/m² asking price. With renovation estimated at about €700/m², the effective cost would be roughly €860/m² before auction-related risks.
More on the house and the area
A large, genuine two-level townhouse with a covered brick-and-beam veranda, private outdoor space, terrace, and garden—more usable and homelike than a typical cheap Italian shell. The interiors are dated and need renovation, but the structure appears roofed, floored, and broadly livable rather than derelict. Its unusually low price per square metre is attractive, though the auction context reduces the dream-home appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€49,000 – €86,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Auction property, so purchase procedure and legal/occupancy checks are essential.
- Advertised as needing renovation; interiors look dated and somewhat cluttered, with visible unfinished electrical points.
- No confirmed energy class, utility status, or exact bathroom/legal details despite the photographed bathroom.
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 51/100Cerano sits in the flat western Po plain between Novara and the Ticino valley. The Ticino river and the Parco del Ticino are within reach to the east, with riparian woodland, wet meadows and former gravel-pit lakes in that corridor. Novara is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for irrigated rice country and a network of canals and farmsteads typical of the Novara plain.
