See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€742/m²), the property requires a complete renovation estimated at about €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €122,000 or €1,842/m². This is substantially above the local €424/m² reference, so it is mainly attractive to experienced developers rather than buyers seeking a straightforward home.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional country house with attractive exposed timber ceilings, old tiled floors, and a productive garden. However, the listing explicitly describes it as requiring an integral renovation, so it is currently a development project rather than a beautiful, ready-to-live-in home.
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€26,000 – €39,000
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.
- Requires a complete renovation, not a light refresh.
- Interiors are dated and visibly worn, with aging finishes, doors, windows, and systems.
- The garden is useful but rustic and overgrown in places; no standout view is 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 39/100This is the flat lower Lomellina plain between the Po and Ticino systems, with rice fields, poplar groves, irrigation canals and embanked rivers shaping the landscape. The Po runs nearby to the south, and the countryside around Pavia is known for rice farming. Pavia is the nearest city of size, with a historic centre, the Certosa di Pavia in its territory, and rail links toward Milan and Genoa.
