This is a judicial auction, an automatic veto under the scoring rules. The facts label it renovated at €165/m², but the description says it requires renovation, has a non-functioning heating system and widespread dampness.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine old village house with traditional shutters, original-style floors, a terrace, and a lived-in two-level layout rather than an empty shell. However, the interiors are dark and dated, humidity is widespread, the heating does not work, and meaningful renovation is needed before it becomes a comfortable dream home. The very low auction price is the main appeal, not exceptional beauty or views.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€46,000 – €69,000
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.
- Needs substantial renovation, with widespread visible humidity and cracking/peeling finishes.
- Heating is present but reported non-functional; utilities and systems should be tested.
- The bathroom is basic and dated, and the gallery does not establish current habitability or compliance.
- Auction purchase carries additional legal, timing, and due-diligence risks.
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 62/100This is the Val d’Arda hill country on the first Apennine relief east of Piacenza, with cultivated slopes, small woods and ridgelines rather than high mountains. The Arda valley is the main local landform. Within about 15 km are the castle villages of Vigoleno and Castell’Arquato, both with preserved medieval centres; Vigoleno is in the Borghi più belli d’Italia list. The area is known for vineyards and for the upper Val d’Arda around the Veleia zone.
