See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (AstaGiudiziaria), which carries legal and procedural risks so treat as a trap. Price €21,150 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (~€40,800) yields an effective ≈€304/m² versus the local median ≈€355/m², but auction status is the decisive negative factor.
More on the house and the area
A solid two‑storey town house with a commercial unit at street level and a simple apartment above; roof and windows appear intact so it’s habitable but tired. The location and plain exterior limit its charm, though the very low price makes it a practical, low‑cost starter home if you can accept noise and do some façade/interior updating.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Located on a busy provincial road — expect traffic noise and limited privacy
- Exterior shows peeling plaster and cracks — façade and possibly damp repairs needed
- Ground floor is a commercial bar unit — consider zoning/permits and street activity
- No interior photos provided — verify condition of finishes, systems and exact number of bathrooms 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 59/100The area sits on the edge of the Colli Tortonesi, with low hills of vineyards and mixed farmland rising from the plain. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the Curone and Ossona valleys are close in the hill country to the east and south-east. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a cathedral, a compact historic centre and rail links on the Genoa–Milan axis. The area is known for wine from the Colli Tortonesi, especially Timorasso, and for mixed agricultural countryside between the Po plain and the Ligurian Apennine foothills.
