See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €88,000 (€1,833/m²), this apartment needs an estimated €33,600 of renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €2,533/m² versus roughly €762/m² for comparable local stock. The description confirms a usable two-room layout and cellar, but gives little detail on the renovation scope and does not justify the substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable one-bedroom apartment with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, and plenty of storage. However, the interiors are dated and plain, with no distinctive character, impressive views, or outdoor space to create a strong dream-home appeal.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 32/100This is part of the Po Valley (Pianura Padana): flat, agricultural plain of fields and irrigation canals. Irrigation infrastructure including the historical Canale Muzza serves the surrounding farmland. There are no mountains, lakes or coast inside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest town of size is Lodi (provincial capital), which provides a cathedral and historic centre, basic services and rail links to Milan. Land use is largely intensive arable and dairy farming, with some light industry and logistics corridors near main roads toward Milan.
