Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (Ferrara court) offered at €15,750 for 137 m² (€115/m²). I estimate basic renovation ~€200/m² (≈€27,400), giving an effective price ≈€43,150 (≈€315/m²) which is below typical regional levels, but auction sales carry legal/process risks and the ad states the images are only indicative — purchase only through the auction process.
More on the house and the area
The interiors are bright, contemporary and clearly finished (high‑quality kitchen, wood floors and a modern bathroom) — a move‑in ready townhouse feel. However the external setting looks like a dense urban block and the ad warns the photos may be illustrative, so confirm the real unit condition, layout and auction/legal details before proceeding.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Listing warns images are indicative and may not be the actual unit — verify real photos/planimetry.
- Exterior shots show dense, utilitarian apartment blocks; setting is urban and not scenic.
- This is a judicial/auction sale — expect legal checks, fees and possible delays.
- Advertisement data mismatches (photos show a bathroom but facts list 0 baths) — confirm actual layout and utilities.
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 43/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the branches of the Po; the Po di Volano and the Po di Goro are the named waterways in the wider delta area nearby. The Po Delta Regional Park extends into this part of Ferrara province, with wetlands and reclaimed farmland east of Copparo. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status as the city of the Este and for its relationship with the Po delta. The area is known for reclaimed lowland agriculture and delta wetlands rather than for relief.
