This is an auction listing (Tribunale) so it cannot be scored as a normal sale. Effective price ≈ €59 5/m² (€45k + €22.8k renovation = €67.8k ÷ 114m²) vs typical ~€461/m² locally; listing also notes images are not real and shows 0 bathrooms, raising contradictions.
More on the house and the area
The interiors look bright, recently refreshed and move-in ready with attractive floors and contemporary finishes, so this could be a genuinely usable, affordable home. However the setting is an ordinary urban block with no view or historic charm — confirm the real photos and planimetry 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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- The listing notes the images are indicative and may not be photos of this specific unit — verify the real pictures and plans.
- Exterior photos show a plain urban apartment block/courtyard, no scenic views or garden.
- Facts show 0 baths but pictures include a bathroom — confirm actual room count and utilities.
- Check garage access and condition of shared parts before purchase.
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 62/100The cluster lies in the lower Po plain, in reclaimed flat land around the Po di Volano and the eastern edge of the Po Delta. The Parco regionale del Delta del Po is within this area, with canals, embankments, wetlands and pinewoods toward the coast. Pomposa Abbey is near Codigoro and is one of the main historic monuments in this part of Ferrara province. Comacchio is the nearest small town of note, with lagoon channels and services; Ferrara is the nearest larger city for a full range of hospitals, rail connections and major retail. The area is known for delta landscapes, fishing and eel, aquaculture, and rice and arable farming on reclaimed land.
