At €81,000 (€579/m²), this immediately habitable 140 m² townhouse with a large 1,100 m² garden is priced above the local €418/m² reference, though the extra land and five bedrooms add value. The listing does not say the construction year, energy class, or provide fuller condition details, so it is reasonable rather than an obvious bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 140 sqm townhouse with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and an impressive 1,100 sqm garden—an unusually generous amount of land at this price. The home appears occupied and livable rather than a renovation shell, though the interiors are dated and the overall aesthetic is modest rather than spectacular.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Interiors are clearly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The exterior shows exposed utility wiring and generally basic finishes.
- No notable scenic view or standout architectural feature is visible.
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 40/100The cluster is in the lower Po Valley, with flat cultivated land around the Po and its side channels; the Po runs nearby at Bressana and Portalbera and shapes the local landscape more than any hill or mountain. Pavia is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, the Certosa a little farther north, and the services of a provincial capital. This part of Oltrepò Pavese is known mainly for agriculture and for the approach to the wine hills farther south, but those hills are outside the immediate landscape here.
