What it really costs

The description explicitly states “ASTA IMMOBILIARE,” triggering the auction veto regardless of the €390/m² asking price. The 224 m² property is described as habitable, but auction-specific legal, occupancy, and procedural risks make it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial detached villa with a generous yard, two covered porches and a potentially attractive family layout at a low price per square metre. However, the interior is clearly mid-renovation and not currently a comfortable, move-in-ready home, with unfinished services and damaged finishes.
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.
- Interior appears heavily unfinished, with exposed wiring, plumbing and masonry.
- No bathrooms are confirmed in the facts despite the description mentioning two; verify legal and technical documentation.
- Auction purchase may involve additional procedures, costs and occupancy or title issues.
- The roof appears intact, but significant renovation is needed before move-in.
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 34/100This is the eastern Po plain, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered farm settlements. The Panaro flows nearby and the Po is farther north. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large Renaissance historic centre and UNESCO status, but it lies beyond the immediate landscape. The area is known for farming and for the earthquake-damaged Emilian plain towns rebuilt in recent years.
