The listing explicitly states “ASTA IMMOBILIARE,” making it a judicial auction and an automatic trap under the scoring rules. Although the €272/m² asking price is below the €367/m² regional baseline, the auction status overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, conventional countryside house with a modest exterior and no proven scenic view or distinctive historic character. Although the roof and structure appear substantially intact, the interiors look like a renovation site rather than a move-in-ready home, with no visible bathroom or finished kitchen.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- Interiors are visibly unfinished, with bare concrete floors, exposed service work, and construction materials throughout.
- No bathroom is listed, and no finished kitchen or usable living spaces are shown.
- Wall cracking, damp-looking areas, and extensive renovation needs should be investigated before bidding.
- This is an auction property, so legal, occupancy, and access checks are essential.
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 37/100The area sits on the Po plain close to the River Po, with flat farmland, embankments and scattered settlements. Cremona is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. This stretch of the lower Piacenza plain is known for agriculture and cured-meat production, including the wider zona of salumi around the Po.
