Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the building is described in 'cattivo stato di conservazione' and occupied by the executants, so heavy restoration is needed (estimated €1,100/m²). Adding renovation (€1,100×414m²) makes the effective price ~€1,321/m², so this auction project is a high‑cost, high‑risk buy.
More on the house and the area
The interiors photographed are bright and recently fitted, giving a move-in-ready feel for at least part of the building. However the peeling exterior façade and the auction description point to a large, old townhouse that will need substantial work and handling of occupancy/legal issues before it’s a fully livable whole.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€164,000 – €242,000
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.
- Listing/description states the overall fabbricato is in poor state of conservation and likely needs significant exterior/structural work.
- Property is sold at auction and is currently occupied — eviction/legal/administrative steps likely required.
- Photos show nicely-finished interiors but these may be of a single unit; the full 414 m² building and cellar-level spaces need independent inspection.
- No clear evidence in the photos of up-to-date utilities/certifications for the whole building.
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 52/100The cluster lies in the lower Curone-Grue-Ossona area on the edge of the Tortona plain, with mixed fields and low hills rather than a marked mountain setting. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the first ridges of the Apennine foothills rise south of Tortona. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and rail links. This part of south-eastern Piemonte is known for wine, fruit growing and mixed farming.
