This is being sold via judicial auction (AstaGiudiziaria) — auction purchases carry legal and financial risks; price €38,562 (≈€76/m²) vs regional median €459/m². The ad also describes the palazzina as 'in corso di costruzione' while the listing condition is 'Habitable', a clear contradiction.
More on the house and the area
Large multi‑unit palazzina with attractive pitched roofs and green valley/river views — the setting is pleasant. The property is essentially an unfinished shell with balconies, scaffolding and raw concrete interiors, so it’s a project requiring significant completion work despite the very low price.
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€34,000 – €57,000
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.
- Building is an unfinished/partially constructed palazzina — interiors appear raw and many openings lack finishes
- Overgrown site, scaffolding and on‑site debris; substantial completion/finishing work required
- Auction sale — expect legal/administrative steps and possible delays
- Possible missing utilities or interior fittings (kitchens/bathrooms/heating to be checked)
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 71/100The cluster is in the upper Taro valley in the northern Apennines, with wooded ridges and passes on all sides. The Taro river runs through the area. Parts of the nearby mountains fall within the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest skiing is the small lift area at Zum Zeri, roughly an hour’s drive, with larger stations farther away on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine crest. Borgo Val di Taro is the main town of the valley and has the usual services, rail link and road connection over the Cisa route toward Parma and Liguria. The area is known for porcini mushrooms from Borgotaro, which have IGP status.
