This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a veto red flag regardless of the €85,000 price or apparent habitable condition. At €425/m², the gross price is near the €416/m² Lombardia baseline before estimated habitable-property costs.
More on the house and the area
A long, traditional town-house façade with shutters, barred windows, terrazzo floors, wooden doors, and a pleasant old-world feel gives it some character. Inside, it is solid and usable rather than a ruin, but the spaces look institutional and partly artisanal, with no kitchen shown and dated services. It is a substantial 200 m² property, but more of a conversion opportunity than an immediately dreamlike home.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- The interior is habitable but appears largely arranged as offices/workspace rather than a finished home.
- No kitchen is visible, and the bathroom is dated; residential conversion or updating may be needed.
- This is an auction property, so legal status, occupancy, permitted use, and building documentation require careful verification.
- No meaningful view or clearly usable private outdoor space is shown in the gallery.
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 58/100This is the Po plain on the River Po, with levees, fields, irrigation channels and scattered riverside settlements. Sabbioneta lies nearby and is a UNESCO World Heritage site as a planned Renaissance town with ducal walls, a theatre and a regular street grid. Casalmaggiore itself is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and a working historic centre on the Po. The area is known for agriculture in the lower Po valley and for the network of small historic centres between the Lombard and Mantuan plain.
