This is a judicial auction (min bid €21,832). At 229 m² I estimate €700/m² renovation (€160,300) → ~€182,132 effective price (~€796/m²) vs regional median €406/m², so it's effectively overpriced; the listing also contains contradictory data about bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed village townhouse with generous internal area, a small courtyard/garden and a sunny terrace — good practical space for a family. Interiors are basic and dated with some moisture damage and low attic ceilings, so plan for renovation and repairs. At the advertised auction price it’s a genuine bargain for someone willing to update it into a comfortable home.
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€45,000 – €80,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating and some repairs needed (peeling plaster, stained ceilings).
- Signs of damp/mould in at least one bathroom/ceiling — recommend thorough inspection and roof checks.
- Property is sold at auction — verify legal/title issues and do an on-site visit before bidding.
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 39/100This is the lower Po plain on the Po River, with flat agricultural land, embankments, poplar groves and scattered hamlets. The Po is the main landscape feature within reach, with riverside levees and floodplain farmland around Casalmaggiore. Cremona is the nearest provincial city of size, with a historic centre and services. The area is known for irrigated agriculture in the Po Valley and for river towns linked to the Po.
