See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction (the listed price €88,500 is the auction minimum). With 147 m² and an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€117,900 effective price), the auction status makes it a risky purchase process rather than a normal sale.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable 3-bed townhouse (147 m²) with garden and cellar — good size and a very attractive price for Lombardia. The house is a straightforward suburban home rather than a scenic or historic dream property, and the listing’s interior images are indicative only, so expect some cosmetic work and to follow the auction/legal process.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 judicial auction — purchase follows a legal/auction process and may include extra fees/time.
- Interior images are illustrative/CGI, not photographs of the actual rooms — verify real interior condition before bidding.
- No photos of the kitchen/bath(s); expect cosmetic updating and check heating/utility systems.
- Suburban edge location next to fields/industrial plots — limited scenic views.
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 30/100The cluster lies on the flat Po Valley (Pianura Padana) plain with very low relief. The visible landscape within 15 km is predominantly arable fields, meadows and networks of irrigation channels and small rural roads. The local pattern is a mix of small towns and villages interspersed with agricultural holdings and areas of light industry/logistics typical of the Milan–Pavia corridor. No named mountains, lakes or national parks are present in the immediate surroundings. The nearest city of size is Pavia (provincial capital), which provides a university, hospital services and regional rail connections. Milan and its airports/economic infrastructure lie to the north and are within commuting distance by road or train, but are outside the immediate rural landscape.
