At €90,000 (€1,169/m²), the apartment is priced well above comparable Brescia-area stock at about €762/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to approximately €1,369/m². The balcony, cellar, independent heating and security door are positives, but the price premium limits the deal value.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, habitable-looking Brescia apartment with balconies, heating, and a cellar, but the exterior offers little architectural character or visual appeal. It may be a usable home, yet the gallery does not provide the beauty, views, or distinctive features that would make it a dream Italian property.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Only the building exterior is shown; there are no interior photos to verify the stated habitable condition.
- The apartment appears to be in a dense, ordinary urban block with no visible scenic view or private outdoor space.
- Bathroom count and interior layout are not confirmed in the supplied facts.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Brescia, so the immediate surroundings are an urban plain at the foot of the Brescian Prealps. The nearest named water landscape is Lake Garda to the east, but it lies outside the 15 km radius. Brescia itself is a major provincial city with extensive services, rail connections, museums and a large historic centre. The city has UNESCO status through the Brescia section of the Longobards in Italy sites, including the monumental area with San Salvatore-Santa Giulia and the Roman forum. The wider area is known for industry, vineyards on the Franciacorta side farther west, and access routes toward Lake Garda and the Alpine valleys.
