This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale), which carries legal/transfer complexity; asking price €52,312. Estimated renovation ~€200/m² → effective price ≈ €79,912 (~€579/m²). The ad states the photos are not the real images, reducing transparency.
More on the house and the area
Bright, high-quality interior finishes and a habitable layout make this a realistic, move-in-capable townhouse. However the building sits in a dense urban block and the listing is an auction — confirm the real photos, planimetry and legal situation before you proceed.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Photos in the ad are indicated as generic/indicative — request the real gallery and floorplans before bidding.
- Property is being sold at auction (legal/possession risks and extra costs); get specialist assistance.
- Urban townhouse façade and neighbouring high-rise mean no scenic views despite attractive interiors.
- Verify actual utilities, number of bathrooms and the condition of the garden/outbuilding described in the text.
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 43/100This is the central Lombard plain between the Adda and Serio rivers, with flat agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Serio runs just west of Crema and the Adda is a short distance farther west, with riverside stretches and protected areas along both watercourses, including the Parco Regionale del Serio and the Parco Adda Sud within reach. Crema is the nearest town of size and has a complete historic centre with a cathedral, arcaded streets and everyday services. The area is known for intensive farming in the Po plain rather than for a singular landscape feature.
