In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €400/m², the asking price is close to comparable local homes at €419/m², but allowing about €200/m² for gradual updating brings the effective cost to roughly €600/m². The central location, three bathrooms, generous space and 22 photos are positives, but the traditional finishes and fireplace needing restoration prevent this from being a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely large, habitable three-storey townhouse with four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a working kitchen, tiled floors, a fireplace, and attractive exposed-beam upper rooms. The sunny town-centre outlook and traditional details give it real character, while the €80,000 price for around 200 sqm is compelling. It is more a comfortable, lived-in family house than a polished dream-home showcase, and would benefit from gradual modernization.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Dated 1990s-style finishes and furnishings would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs.
- The fireplace is described as needing restoration and adaptation before use.
- No private garden or significant outdoor space is 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.
The area around
Location score 33/100This is the lower Po plain between the Oglio and Po river systems, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Oglio runs a few kilometres east and joins the Po south of the area. Casalmaggiore is the nearest larger centre, with a hospital, secondary schools and rail links, and Cremona is the main provincial city used for wider services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the Po Valley dairy and cured-meat economy.
