At €99,000 for 117 m², the asking price is €846/m² versus a local benchmark of €762/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates such as the single-glazed windows raises the effective cost to about €1,046/m². The apartment is spacious and includes a balcony, terrace, cellar and lift, but its condition and construction year are not stated, and the location offers no clear premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, usable 117-square-meter apartment with a generous terrace, balcony, solid floors, and plenty of natural light. However, the interiors are empty and dated, with an old kitchen, basic finishes, and visible wall wear; the surrounding suburban setting offers little visual drama. It looks livable after refreshing, but not like a distinctive Italian dream home.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 interiors and kitchen require cosmetic updating.
- Single-glazed wooden windows may mean weaker insulation and higher heating costs.
- No notable historic character or scenic view is shown; the setting is a conventional residential neighborhood.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and the garage is available separately.
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 37/100This is the flat lower Lombardy plain between the Lambro and Po systems, with cultivated fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads. The Lambro runs near Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, and the Po is farther south beyond the immediate area. Lodi is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre and services; Milan is important for work and transport but lies beyond the local landscape. The area is known for intensive agriculture and dairying in the Po Valley.
