See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (“in asta”), which makes it a high‑risk purchase despite the low price (€34,935; €246/m2 vs regional median €416/m2). The description calls the condition overall insufficient despite the 'Renovated' tag, so I estimate about €700/m2 to make it fully habitable.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid two‑storey town house (142 m²) with courtyard/vegetable patch and a working bathroom—very affordable for the size. Interiors are dated and require renovation/modern systems, but the building is habitable and would be an economical live-in or upgrade project.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €50,000
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.
- Overall dated and in need of modernization (old tiles, finishes).
- No central heating — electric heaters / splits only; plumbing/electrics likely partial upgrades needed.
- Small, basic paved courtyard and modest orto (not a scenic setting).
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.

Sabbioneta lies nearby and is a UNESCO World Heritage site as a planned Renaissance town with ducal walls, a theatre and a regular street grid. Casalmaggiore itself is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and a working historic centre on the Po. The area is known for agriculture in the lower Po valley and for the network of small historic centres between the Lombard and Mantuan plain.
