What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000, estimated renovation adds about €71,400, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,278/m² versus €419/m² for comparable homes in the area. The private garden, balcony and independent heating add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this poor value at the current price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished three-bedroom townhouse with working kitchen, bathrooms, heating, tiled floors, and enough space to live in immediately. Its main appeal is the unusually low price for 102 sqm and the promise of a private garden, but the dated finishes, clutter, and visible damp marks make it a renovation project rather than a dream home.
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€20,000 – €36,000
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.

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 55/100Vigevano sits in the flat Ticino plain. The Ticino river and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino are within the area. The nearest larger centre is Milan, but Vigevano itself is a substantial town with services and a major historic centre centred on Piazza Ducale and the Castello Sforzesco. The area is known for rice fields and lowland agriculture in the Lomellina.
