This is a judicial-auction lot described as 'in corso di costruzione' with 'finitura al rustico' (no plaster, floors or windows) so I estimate full finishing at ~€1,100/m² → renovation ≈ €231,000 and an effective price ≈ €312,750 (~€1,490/m²). The ad also warns the images are only indicative and the exact area is not provided, so it is not a ready-to-live dwelling.
More on the house and the area
The listing shows very attractive, characterful interiors and a handsome brick exterior, plus a huge terrace — lots of curb appeal. However the actual asset is an unfinished shell (large first‑floor volume + attic and garage) requiring full completion, so it’s a renovation project with strong potential rather than a move‑in home.
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€83,000 – €123,000
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.
- Property is largely 'al rustico' (unfinished): no internal finishes, floors or windows in main 1st‑floor volume.
- Photos are indicative/CGIs, not actual finished rooms — real condition is shell and needs full finishing.
- Large terrace and accessory garage exist but courtyards lack paving and some services may be incomplete.
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 56/100The area lies on the Po plain on the Adda River. Pizzighettone is known for its walled riverside settlement and the preserved circuit of Spanish-era fortifications. Within this stretch of the lower Adda the landscape is mainly flat farmland with riverbanks, irrigation channels and scattered villages. Cremona is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre and services.
