This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale di Bergamo), so purchase is subject to court-sale procedures and we flag it as a trap. Listed €57,432 for 127 m2 (estimated €200/m2 repairs → effective ≈ €652/m2), and the ad itself warns images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
The property shows some appealing old-house character (wood floors, fireplace, original bedroom) alongside images of new tiled baths/kitchen renderings, so it feels like a partly-renovated townhouse or a liveable shell. It could be a real bargain if the auction paperwork and inconsistencies in the listing check out, but expect further renovation and careful due diligence.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 states images are indicative/stock — photos may not be the actual rooms for sale.
- Photos show mixed condition: at least one original, dilapidated bedroom and other images of finished/idealised rooms; expect renovation/finishing work.
- This is a judicial/auction sale — verify legal/title issues and extra costs before bidding.
- No clear exterior, views, private garden or land are shown in the photos.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Brembana valley in the Bergamo Prealps, with steep wooded slopes and limestone mountains close around the valley floor. The Brembo river runs through the area. San Pellegrino Terme is nearby and has its Liberty-era spa buildings and thermal-water association. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Città Alta on its hill. Ski lifts in the upper Val Brembana around Foppolo and Carona are roughly an hour’s drive and do not affect the score. The area is known for the Val Brembana valley landscape and mountain access rather than for a single protected or nationally famous site within the immediate radius.
