This is an auction lot (min. offer €12,706; auction date 19/11/2026) and the house is described as abandoned and “completamente da ristrutturare” with mold and partly demolished floors. Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → renovation ≈€42,000 and total cost ≈€54,700 (≈€912/m²) vs regional typical ≈€465/m², so the effective price is well above market and carries auction risk.
More on the house and the area
A compact two‑storey town house with a small courtyard, cellar, a working fireplace and a pleasant brick arch detail — solid roofed structure with some character. However the interior is neglected (moisture marks, removed/ damaged flooring and dated fittings) and will need a full refurbishment before regular use; excellent low‑cost entry if you’re after a renovation 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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Complete renovation required: peeling plaster, damp/mould stains and partially demolished floors.
- Uncertain condition of systems (heating, electrics, plumbing) — expect replacements.
- Small footprint (≈60 m²) and limited outdoor space; budget for structural/finish works.
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 61/100The cluster is in the lower Val Trebbia, with the first Ligurian Apennine hills rising just south of the built-up area. The Trebbia river runs through the area and is the main landscape feature within a few kilometres. A short drive upstream, Bobbio has a substantial historic centre and the Ponte Gobbo over the Trebbia; it is also listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Piacenza is the nearest larger town, with full services, rail connections and a historic centre. The area is known locally for river bathing spots, mixed wooded hills and the Val Trebbia road toward the Apennines.
