This is a judicial auction sale, which prevents a standard purchase route. Price €22,580 plus an estimated €200/m² of renovation (~€69,780 total, ≈€296/m²) is slightly below the regional median (€312/m²) but the auction/legal status is the decisive negative factor.
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in three-level villa with a covered portico, courtyard, single garage and a 426 m² plot — interiors are usable now (kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bath). Property needs mechanical upgrades, attic finishing and some roof work, but the massive 82% auction discount makes it an attractive, realistic buy-for-live-in with modest investment.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- No central heating (marked as absent) — currently relies on stove/heaters
- Sottotetto (attic) is al rustico / not habitable and the roof shows tiles/gaps that will need repair
- Impianti (electrical/plumbing) are not certified — expect modernization costs
- Servitude / access note in dossier — check legal/title details 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 is known for rice cultivation in the wider Vercelli-Casale plain.
