This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Mantova) comprising a small villa, multiple magazzini and agricultural land sold for €37,294 (5,569 m2 → €7/m2). Parts are partially demolished so I estimate renovation ≈€1,100/m2, making effective rebuilding cost far higher than the price and posing auction/legal risks.
More on the house and the area
Some photos show freshly renovated, bright interiors (new bathroom, clean wood floors) that could be lived in immediately, but the gallery also includes a dilapidated room and the listing describes partially demolished outbuildings and land. Good value for the price if you want a project plus a ready apartment, but not a turnkey picturesque Italian dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€2,205,000 – €3,258,000
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 states photos are indicative and may not be the actual spaces shown.
- Images show a mix of modern, move‑in rooms and at least one decayed/old bedroom — condition appears inconsistent across the compendio.
- Property description mentions partially demolished deposit/warehouses and agricultural land — likely substantial renovation work for some buildings.
- Urban courtyard setting with no scenic rural/sea/mountain view shown.
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.
