This is a judicial-auction lot (RGE 179/2022) in Cascina offered at €28,634 (€46/m²) but described as semi-derelict/partly collapsed with virtual parcels and shared/common-area ownership, making legal and technical recovery complex. Full restoration is estimated at about €1,100/m², so the low price reflects heavy ruin and auction risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a largely abandoned, semi-ruined complex in Cascina — a very low-price project opportunity rather than a ready-to-live-in house. The listing warns photos are illustrative; expect extensive structural, services and legal work before habitation.
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€249,000 – €368,000
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.
- Described as semidiroccato / in completo stato di abbandono
- Images in the ad are indicative and may not show the real condition
- Likely major structural, roof and utilities work and complex cadastral/ownership issues
- Large renovation project rather than a move-in home
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 46/100The area is the lower Arno plain, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered settlements between Pisa and Pontedera. The Arno runs nearby. Pisa is the nearest city of size, with the Campo dei Miracoli and the Leaning Tower. The Monti Pisani rise to the north at roughly the edge of the 15 km radius. This part of the province is known for agriculture and for being on the main corridor between Pisa, Lucca and Florence.
