See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,334/m²—over three times the €417/m² local benchmark. The central location, garden, parking and partly improved fixtures help, but the substantial renovation burden and €350 of land make this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuine house with solid floors, functioning bathrooms, radiators, double-glazed windows, and plenty of usable rooms rather than an empty shell. Its terrazzo floors, wood paneling, shutters, and old furnishings provide modest Italian character, but the home is very dated and the exterior is tired, so the appeal is more about space and livability potential than immediate beauty.
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€28,000 – €50,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors and finishes need renovation or substantial cosmetic updating.
- Exterior plaster, balconies, stairs, and roof details show visible maintenance needs.
- No attractive view or photogenic setting is shown in the gallery.
- The property includes garden/land and outbuildings according to the listing, but these are not visually documented here.
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 58/100This is the western edge of the Lomellina, a flat irrigated plain between the Ticino and Sesia river systems, with rice fields, canals, poplar plantations and scattered farmsteads. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie within reach to the east, with riverside woods and old gravel banks. Vigevano is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre with Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. The area is known for rice cultivation and water-managed agriculture.
