This is a judicial auction and the house is described as in total abandonment; I estimate €900/m² (≈€78,300 renovation), giving an effective price ≈€94,800 (~€1,090/m²) vs local median €359/m², so the auction status and contradictory listing details make this unsuitable for a straightforward buy.
More on the house and the area
Independent two‑storey home (87 m²) with an exclusive courtyard/garden and a very low auction price — good bargain potential. However the property is described as abandoned with no heating and needs complete renovation, so it’s a project rather than a move‑in 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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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 55/100This cluster sits in the built-up area of Ferrara, so the lived setting is the flat lower Po plain with urban streets, modern outskirts and agricultural land around the city. The Po di Volano runs through Ferrara, and the Po and its branch canals shape the wider landscape of reclaimed farmland and embankments. Ferrara is the nearest town of size and has the Este Castle, the Renaissance Addizione Erculea and the cathedral area. Ferrara is on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its historic centre and its planned Renaissance expansion. The area is known for the Po plain, land reclamation and cycling routes on the embankments.
