Listing is a judicial auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE') and includes multiple agricultural outbuildings and land, which makes purchase legally complex. Price €49,726 for 436 m²; I use €200/m² for a 'Habitable' condition (≈€87,200 renovation), giving an effective ≈€314/m² versus regional baseline €425/m² — the auction status is the primary concern.
More on the house and the area
Big, inexpensive 1986 villa with garages and annexes in a small Lombardy town — a clear size/price bargain. The house is technically habitable but photos show very dated, dirty rooms and partially demolished outbuildings, so expect significant refurbishment to make it a comfortable home.
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€29,000 – €49,000
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.
- Property is an auction lot — verify legal/title and tribunal documentation before bidding
- Interiors are very dated, dirty and show signs of damp; requires thorough cleaning and renovation
- Some outbuildings are partially demolished (listing mentions) — structural work likely needed
- Photos show no special views, garden or historic features despite large footprint
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.
