In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is listed as a judicial auction (minimum offer €37,500) for a 504 m² villa; estimated renovation €200/m² yields an effective price ≈€138,300 (≈€274/m²) versus the regional median €416/m². Auction status creates legal risk, and the listing contradicts itself (description mentions a bathroom while baths=0).
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable mid‑century villa with intact roof, cellar and attic but very dated interiors. Plain roadside exterior with a small courtyard and neighbouring fields — a practical, low‑cost buy that will need modernisation to become a comfortable, attractive 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€33,000 – €56,000
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.
- Dated 1960s interior; needs kitchen, bathroom and cosmetic updating.
- Located directly on a main road — expect traffic noise and limited privacy.
- Heating/boiler and some systems look old and may need replacement.
- Outdoor space is a small courtyard only, no garden or scenic views visible.
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 60/100This is in the Oltrepò Pavese hill country, with vineyard-covered ridges and small valleys of the Versa and nearby tributaries. The area is known for wine production, especially Pinot Nero and sparkling wines of Oltrepò Pavese. Stradella is the nearest larger town, with rail services and everyday shops and services. Pavia is the main city in the wider area for hospitals, university facilities and a fuller historic centre. Several villages of the central Oltrepò sit nearby on hill spurs, but there is no major lake, coast, national park or ski area within the immediate 15 km landscape.
