- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the complex “needs renovation” (estimated €700/m²), giving an effective price ≈ €787/m² (price €93,740 + renovation) versus the regional baseline €459/m² — high renovation burden plus auction status make this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
Clean, neutral interiors in the photos make parts of the complex immediately usable, and the huge total area at this price is a clear bargain. However the group of buildings is a mixed, partly-uncertain condition and sold at auction, so it’s more a renovation/conversion opportunity 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€215,000 – €381,000
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.

- Property sold at auction / pignorato — purchase has legal/possession complexity
- Listed as 'needs renovation' despite some finished-looking rooms — likely uneven condition across the complex
- Large mixed-use complex with outbuildings and containers: conversion to a single comfortable home will need planning and extra cost
- Services/energy class not shown and baths unclear — verify utilities and sanitary fitments before bidding
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 42/100This is the lower Po plain on the Po River, with embankments, fields, poplar plantations and river islands along this stretch of the valley. The area is part of the Bassa Parmense, known for floodplain farming and for Culatello di Zibello production in the humid Po-side villages. Fidenza is the nearest larger town with rail services and everyday amenities. Parma is the nearest city of size, with a full historic centre and major services, but it is beyond the immediate 15 km landscape.
