This is a judicial auction for a 1,655 m² palazzo offered at €73,000, which carries legal and execution risks; estimated renovation ~€700/m² would add substantial cost.
More on the house and the area
A structurally complete, roofed apartment block offered in a raw unfinished state — the exterior looks largely finished but interiors are bare brick and concrete. This is primarily an auction investment or large renovation project, not a move‑in dream home; the main appeal is the low price/auction opportunity rather than beauty or immediate livability.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€328,000 – €581,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property is sold at auction — legal, fees and purchase risks apply.
- Building is largely 'allo stato grezzo' (raw): no finished interiors, no kitchens or bathrooms, just brick shells and concrete floors.
- This is a multi‑unit palazzo, not a ready single-family home — substantial works and coordination for common areas, utilities and permits required.
- Completion costs (finishes, systems, partitions, compliance) will be significant.
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 68/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with ridges of vineyards, woods and cultivated slopes above the Po plain. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north, and the area sits between the lower Monferrato and the first hills rising from the river plain. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail links. The wider Monferrato wine landscape is what the area is known for, with wine villages, isolated farmhouses and Romanesque churches scattered through the hills.
