Property is offered via judicial auction — auction purchases carry legal/financial risk and the ad even warns photos may not match the unit. Estimated renovation €200/m² gives an effective total ≈€47,937 (≈€301/m²) vs regional baseline €409/m², but the auction status makes this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two‑storey town house with intact floors, heating and a small private garden — a realistic lived‑in home rather than a ruin. Interiors are dated and show cosmetic damage (peeling ceilings, old kitchen), and the house sits directly on a busy street. Great low‑price opportunity for someone seeking an affordable renovation in Lombardy rather than a move‑in showcase.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Street‑front location — likely traffic/noise and limited privacy
- Cosmetic renovation needed (peeling ceilings, dated kitchen and finishes)
- Small overgrown garden that needs clearing
- Agency notes say some photos may be generic, not all images necessarily of the exact unit
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 34/100This is the flat plain of the lower Secchia, with the Secchia river corridor close by and a landscape of fields, drainage canals, embankments and scattered farmhouses. The nearest larger town is Carpi, which has a substantial historic centre and services, and Modena is the main city for higher-order services and rail connections. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the food economy of the Modena plain, including the wider zone of Lambrusco, pork products and the Emilia industrial-agricultural belt.
