See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is offered as a judicial auction (court sale), so it cannot be treated as a normal market listing; the description also names a different town (San Colombano al Lambro vs Sanza). Using €200/m² for a 'habitable' condition gives estimated renovation €16,200, so effective price ≈ €72,730 (~€899/m²).
More on the house and the area
A neat, modern townhouse (2008) in move-in condition with a private paved outdoor area and balcony — a practical, comfortable home rather than a romantic Italian dream. Good value for size at auction, but check auction terms, parking and the sloping ceilings upstairs before bidding.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 auction — expect due diligence, fees and timing constraints.
- No garage included; parking may be limited despite nearby options.
- Upper level is in the roof/sottotetto with variable ceiling heights (max ~3.75 m, min ~2.35 m).
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 37/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat agricultural land and scattered irrigation channels. The Po runs nearby, and the Lambro also crosses the municipal area before joining the Po. The most notable feature within the area is the castle complex at Chignolo Po, known as the Castello Procaccini Alberoni. The nearest larger centres in daily use are Pavia and Lodi, which provide rail links, hospitals and full services. The area is known mainly for arable farming in the Po Valley.
