What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold in a judicial procedure (procedura esecutiva), which brings legal/transfer complexity; price €50,250. I estimate €200/m² renovation → effective ≈ €602/m² (≈€75,250 total) versus regional baseline €463/m², so it is not a bargain for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Solid three‑storey town house with roof intact, small exclusive courtyard and street-side greenery (appears to back onto a tree‑lined canal/stream). Not a picture‑perfect or historic dream home, but clearly a usable dwelling that would reward modernization — good value if you’re prepared to update and sort the legal/administrative status.
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.
- Plain, dated exterior — cosmetic and likely interior updating required
- Located on a narrow residential street (limited private outdoor space)
- Property is sold in an execution procedure (procedura esecutiva) — check legal/title status and any liens
- No energy class or detailed condition report provided
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 55/100This is the flat lower Po plain around Ferrara, with the Po di Volano and the Po river branches shaping the area. The Parco del Delta del Po lies within reach to the east, with wetlands, reclaimed farmland and pine woods in the delta zone. Ferrara is the nearest city of size and has a large historic centre with major Renaissance monuments; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and for the Po delta landscape rather than for relief.
