- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Piacenza), which makes purchase via court risky; asking price €33,466 equals €51/m² versus the regional baseline €290/m². The building is listed as 'Needs renovation' (estimated ~€700/m²) and the ad lacks real photos/complete data, so treat this as a trap.
More on the house and the area
The supplied photos show very elegant, high-end interiors and classical paneling, so the house has clear aesthetic potential. however the listing warns the images are not of the actual property and the unit is sold at auction as needing renovation, so this is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream 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€129,000 – €229,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Listing explicitly states the photos are indicative and do not represent the real property.
- The adverted property is marked 'needs renovation' and sold at auction — likely not move-in ready.
- No real images of the farmhouse exterior, land or current structural condition are provided.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Val Nure, in the Ligurian Apennines foothills, with wooded ridges and farmed valley slopes within the local 15 km landscape. The Nure river runs through Bettola and defines the valley. Farther up-valley, around about 15 km from Bettola, the road climbs toward Passo del Mercatello and the higher Apennine crest. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which provides the main rail station, hospital and full city services. The area is known for Val Nure hill country, chestnut woods, pasture and small stone villages.
