What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
543 EUR/m2 is above the local median (405), but the property is independent over 3 levels with generous 138sqm, cellar, terraces and private courtyard. Only the ground-floor apartment is renovated and habitable; the first and second floors are 'allo stato di rustico' (rough/unfinished), so significant renovation is needed to use the full surface - hence 'other' flag for the partial habitability. Building from 1600 and missing energy class. Still, low absolute price, fresh listing (3 days), and strong customization potential make this a solid opportunity for a buyer willing to finish the upper floors.
More on the house and the area
A three-level independent townhouse dating from ~1600 in a quiet green area of Foresto Sparso. Ground-floor apartment is renovated and habitable but with dated, ordinary finishes (tiled floors, exposed wood-beam ceilings, basic kitchen and bath). Upper floors are unfinished rustico offering renovation potential. Some hillside greenery and modest valley views from the exterior, plus terraces and a private courtyard. Low price and large 138sqm footprint give some bargain appeal, but nothing visually stunning. Old stone exterior has historic character but is worn. No scroll-stopping features.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Watermarked photos throughout
- No energy class listed
- Upper floors are unfinished 'rustico' requiring renovation
- Interior finishes are dated/basic
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 68/100The cluster is in the Val Cavallina, with the pre-Alpine ridges of the Bergamasque Alps close on both sides of the valley. Lake Endine lies within the area, and Lake Iseo is a short drive farther west but outside the immediate radius. The Oglio river valley is nearby at the western end of the valley system. The nearest ski lifts are in the Bergamo Alps around Monte Pora and Colere, roughly about an hour or more by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with the Città Alta, major services and rail links. The wider area is known for small lakes, wooded slopes and valley villages at the edge of the Bergamasque Prealps.
