116 m² townhouse at €34,935 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (≈€23,200) gives an effective price ≈€58,135 or ≈€501/m², above the regional baseline of €409/m². The listing includes 12 photos but the facts list 0 bathrooms while the description mentions a bagno, a contradiction that lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable town house with a small private courtyard/garden — not picturesque but clearly liveable. Interiors and finishes are dated, so it’s a bargain for someone happy to refresh rather than a turnkey dream home.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Plain town-centre location — no scenic views.
- Photos are limited and several are redacted, hard to fully assess interior condition.
- Dated finishes throughout — cosmetic updating likely; auction purchase process may add complexity.
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 58/100This is the Po plain on the River Po, with levees, fields, irrigation channels and scattered riverside settlements. 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.
