More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed and apparently usable two-bedroom home with a garage, offered at an unusually low price per square metre. However, the actual property photos show a plain roadside building and tired, old-fashioned interiors with no visible view, garden, or distinctive character; the beautiful garden, sea, and landmark images do not appear to document the house.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and exterior, with substantial cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The property is on a busy roadside with little visible outdoor space or privacy.
- This is an auction purchase, so occupancy, legal status, fees, and access should be carefully verified.
- The gallery includes attractive but apparently unrelated scenic and garden images; they should not be treated as views from the home.
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 reclaimed agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farm buildings. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north and marks the Lombardy border. Guastalla and Suzzara are the nearest larger centres for daily services, and Reggio Emilia, Mantua and Carpi are the nearest historic provincial towns within normal driving distance. The area is known for intensive farming and for being part of the Emilian food-producing plain.
