Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 plus an estimated €110,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,090/m²—nearly five times the local benchmark of €421/m². The independent layout, box and terrace are positives, but the house is explicitly in need of renovation and the asking price is too high for the condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine independent two-level house with a functional kitchen, tiled floors, two bedrooms, garage, and a generous balcony, so it appears potentially habitable rather than an empty shell. However, the dated finishes, visible maintenance issues, basic systems, and lack of architectural character or standout setting make it a practical renovation purchase rather than a dream-home discovery.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation, despite being furnished and currently usable.
- Very dated interiors, single-glazed wooden windows, visible wall and ceiling cracks, and basic heating via gas stove.
- Only modest outdoor appeal: a long balcony and small gravel/planting area, with no scenic view or meaningful private garden shown.
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 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.
