At €45,000 (€321/m²), the house needs a complete renovation including the roof, windows, and all main systems. Adding an estimated €154,000 renovation budget brings the effective cost to about €1,421/m², far above comparable local stock at €417/m².
More on the house and the area
This 140 sqm village house has genuine Lombard character, with old shutters, exposed timber details, arched stone door surrounds, terracotta flooring and fireplaces, plus a pleasant historic-square setting. However, the interior is largely a raw, cluttered renovation project and the listing explicitly calls for total refurbishment, so it is a characterful shell rather than a home someone could move into soon.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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, including the roof, windows, electrical and plumbing/heating systems.
- The photographed interiors are cluttered, deteriorated and not currently livable.
- No private garden or meaningful countryside view is shown; the home is on a village street.
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 37/100This is the western Brescian plain, part of the irrigated lowland between Brescia and Cremona, with fields, canals and scattered farmsteads. The river Oglio runs a few kilometres east and is the main natural feature within reach. Manerbio is the nearest town of some size and has the usual services and rail links; Brescia is farther north for a larger city.
