What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction property, which is a hard veto regardless of the €565/m² asking price. It is also occupied and explicitly non-compliant with cadastral, building, and planning regulations, despite being described as habitable.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, sunny yellow villa with balconies, terraces, mature garden space, and open agricultural surroundings; the size, garage, and sub-€100k price create real bargain appeal. It appears to be a solid, habitable 1980s home rather than a ruin, but the style is ordinary and dated, without a dramatic view or distinctive historic character. The auction, occupancy, and documented planning irregularities significantly reduce the carefree dream-home appeal.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Auction purchase and the property is currently occupied.
- Cadastral, building, and planning compliance is explicitly not confirmed.
- Interiors appear dated and the gallery gives only a limited view of the living spaces.
- Peripheral rural access and outbuildings may require practical checks.
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 72/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), a compact group of volcanic hills that rises directly from the plain within the 15 km radius. The Euganean Hills Regional Park covers much of this landscape. Este itself is the nearest town of size and has a walled historic centre and the Carraresi Castle. Monselice is also nearby and is known for its hilltop Rocca and the route of the Seven Churches. The area is known for vineyards, olive growing, and thermal spa towns on the edge of the hills such as Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme.
