At €78,000 (€867/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €96,000 or €1,067/m² after modest habitable-home costs, substantially above the €424/m² benchmark. The house is described as well maintained with a garden, garage and central location, but its energy class G limits value.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable detached house with a leafy garden, traditional shutters, tiled roofs and attractive exposed ceiling beams. The interior has functioning floors, heating, kitchen and bathroom, but the dated finishes and visible damp staining keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Visible damp or moisture staining on several interior walls, especially around the ground-floor room.
- Interiors, kitchen and bathroom are clean and usable but distinctly dated and likely need refreshing.
- Energy class G suggests high running costs; the house also has multiple flights of stairs.
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 58/100Broni sits on the Oltrepò Pavese, in the belt of vine-covered hills south of the Po plain. The nearest named river landscape is the Po to the north, while the first Apennine ridges rise farther south across the province. Pavia is the nearest city of size, with a historic centre and services, and Voghera is the nearer market town on the plain. This part of the Oltrepò is known for wine production, especially vineyards on rolling marl and clay hills.
