At €79,000 (€608/m²), the home is priced well above the €354/m² local comparison level; allowing about €200/m² for a reportedly habitable property brings the effective cost near €808/m². The 1,100 m² private land, garden and parking add appeal, but the price premium is substantial for a rural farmhouse in Chignolo Po.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable old Lombard farmhouse with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms, a fireplace and approximately 1,100 m² of private land. The character comes from the traditional cascina buildings, tiled roofs and generous rural garden rather than polished interiors or spectacular views; it is immediately livable but would benefit from modernization.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- The main house appears habitable but very dated, with old finishes, furniture and fixtures.
- The attached agricultural outbuildings are rustic and may require substantial maintenance or renovation.
- Energy class G and no notable scenic view are disclosed.
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.
