This is a judicial auction sale (venduto dal tribunale), which is a major legal/risk flag. Listed price €21,832 (€102/m²) is far below the regional median of €406/m² but the description states “pessime condizioni” and no heating, contradicting the ‘Habitable’ tag; estimated renovation ≈€700/m².
More on the house and the area
An inexpensive, plain town house with a small courtyard and farmland surroundings — a strong bargain if you want a renovation project. The façade and setting are ordinary and the building is described as in poor condition and without heating, so it’s not a move‑in home and will need substantial work to be comfortable.
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€42,000 – €75,000
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.
- Advertised in very poor state of maintenance and reported as without heating
- No bathrooms listed (baths: 0) — significant services work likely needed
- Property is currently rented (locato) — purchase via judicial auction; legal/eviction steps may be required
- Many interior photos are generic indicatives/stock images, not actual pictures of this home
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 33/100This is the lower Po plain between the Oglio and Po river systems, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered hamlets. The Po runs nearby to the south and the Oglio is not far to the east, shaping the area more as reclaimed agricultural plain than as a distinct river landscape. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of size and has everyday services, a hospital and a bridge crossing of the Po. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the wider Cremonese-Mantovano plain rather than for a named scenic site within the immediate surroundings.
