Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta), which brings legal and procedural risk for buyers and is a veto flag. Estimating €200/m² for renovation yields an effective price of about €598/m² (≈€86,020 total), well above the local median €416/m², so this is not a value buy.
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in country house with a good-sized layout, a fireplace, vaulted cellar and a small courtyard — clearly habitable but dated. Great value for Lombardy (auction price) and a nice little rural plot, ideal if you want countryside living with modest refreshing rather than a full rebuild.
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.
- Access via an unpaved/dirt road and property sits in an isolated agricultural area
- Exterior courtyard/orto is overgrown and needs cleaning/repaving; some external moss/damp visible
- Interior is dated (tiles, finishes) and will need cosmetic updating despite being fully usable
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.
