See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €31,955 villa is advertised as an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a mandatory veto despite its low €172/m² price versus the €315/m² Piemonte baseline. The stated habitable condition implies an estimated renovation cost of about €200/m², but auction-specific legal and occupancy risks make this unsuitable for the standard deal catalog.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 1980s villa with a leafy private-looking perimeter and sunny outdoor space, but the visible exterior is plain rather than especially beautiful or distinctive. The property is described as habitable and offers generous space, though the lack of confirmed bathrooms and auction context make real-world usability worth checking carefully.
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 – €21,000
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 requires careful review of court documents and possible occupancy or title issues.
- The listing reports zero bathrooms, so bathroom provision should be verified.
- The single exterior image is heavily watermarked and does not show the interiors or the full property.
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 38/100This is flat rice-country in the Lomellina, part of the western Po plain between the Po and Sesia river systems. The area around Candia Lomellina is dominated by irrigated fields, canals, farmsteads and straight local roads. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, with the Parco del Po Piemontese on the opposite bank near Valenza and Casale Monferrato. Mortara is the nearest town of some size in the area, with rail connections and everyday services; Vercelli and Casale Monferrato are also close enough to matter for shopping and administration. The area is known for rice cultivation.
