See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing, which carries legal/title risks and is therefore flagged as a trap regardless of price. Listed at €93,713 for 196 m² (~€478/m²) and described as habitable (I use €200/m² as a renovation proxy), so consult the court dossier and an attorney before proceeding.
More on the house and the area
A solid, late‑20th‑century semi‑detached villa with a gated front, garage and small private garden — perfectly usable as a family home. It’s plain rather than picturesque, but the size and auction price make it an attractive bargain; check legal docs and interior condition before buying.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Property sold at auction — verify legal/title with a specialist before bidding
- Photos mostly show exterior; interior condition and number of bathrooms unclear
- Suburban setting with no scenic/sea views — ordinary location
- Likely needs cosmetic updates despite being listed as habitable
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 southern Mantovano plain in the lower Po basin, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered hamlets. The Secchia runs a few kilometres west of Pegognaga, and the Po is farther north beyond Suzzara and Gonzaga. Mantova is the nearest city of size, with its historic centre and the lakes formed by the Mincio around the city, but those are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the Gonzaga plain south of Mantova.
