This is a judicial auction (not a normal sale), so it is treated as a trap. After an estimated €700/m² renovation the effective cost is ≈€156,000 total (≈€803/m²) vs. the regional baseline of €375/m²; the listing text mentions bathrooms but the provided facts list 0 baths, a contradictory data point.
More on the house and the area
Large rural farmhouse with original beams, cotto floors and brick details and a private garden — attractive rustic bones and good square metres. The house is structurally whole but in need of comprehensive renovation (no active heating, deactivated systems and worn out outbuildings), so it’s a lovely project and very cheap, not an immediately livable home.
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€38,000 – €68,000
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.

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 58/100Redavalle sits in the Oltrepò Pavese, in vineyard hills on the first rises south of the Po plain. The area is part of the wine landscape around Stradella and Broni, known for vineyards and sparkling wine production. The nearest larger town is Voghera, which has full services and rail connections. Pavia is the nearest historic city of size, with a major university and a substantial old centre, but it is outside the immediate landscape.
