This is a judicial auction (ASTA) and includes a 1/4 undivided ownership of the access road, adding legal complexity; listed price €71,250 (≈€502/m2 for 142 m2). Auction status is a veto for this catalog, so it is classified as a trap.
More on the house and the area
A solid 1980s villa on the edge of a small town with open fields visible — pleasant, quiet setting but not a scenic or historic location. The building is roofed and structurally whole, but the photos show unfinished interiors (no finished floors, no bathroom fittings and patchy plaster), so expect a medium renovation budget to make it fully liveable.
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€9,000 – €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.
- Interiors are unfinished: bare screed floors and incomplete bathroom/kitchen fittings
- Signs of damp/patchy plaster on walls — cosmetic repairs required
- Property offered at auction — check legal/title and enforcement risks before bidding
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 39/100This is the flat Vercelli plain, with rice fields, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Po runs nearby to the south, and the Sesia is also close on the west side of this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Vercelli, which has a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for risicoltura, especially rice cultivation across the paddies of eastern Piemonte.
