See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an “asta immobiliare” judicial auction, which is a veto regardless of the attractive €263/m² price versus the €367/m² baseline. The listing also describes a mixed complex with two homes, two shops, and service buildings rather than a straightforward villa, while baths are listed as 0.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial historic town-center complex with arched passages, shuttered façades and multiple internal courtyard spaces, offered at a very low price for 285 sqm. However, the interiors are dated and neglected, while the overgrown courtyards and stained walls suggest meaningful renovation before comfortable living; the real configuration and bathroom provision also need verification.
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€19,000 – €32,000
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 property is being sold at auction, with legal and financing due diligence essential.
- Photos show severe overgrowth, damp-looking walls and significant cleaning/refurbishment needs.
- No bathrooms are listed in the facts, despite the property being described as habitable.
- It is a large mixed-use complex in a dense town-center setting rather than a private countryside villa.
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 flat Po plain around the lower course of the Secchia, with farmland, drainage canals and scattered industrial and logistics areas along the road network. The Po is a short distance to the north, and Guastalla is the nearest larger centre in the area with services and a historic core; Suzzara and Carpi are also important nearby service towns. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the earthquake-rebuilt settlements of the lower Emilian plain.
