At €12,938 (€160/m²), the asking price is about 62% below the local €419/m² benchmark. However, the listing is extremely sparse and does not state the condition or even the bathroom situation, so substantial renovation should be budgeted until inspected.
More on the house and the area
The historic town setting and ornate Italian balconies provide genuine character, while the €12,938 price is exceptionally low for 81 m². However, the gallery suggests a mixed or unreliable condition picture: one room looks neglected, and the modern interiors are not clearly proven to belong to the same finished home.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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- The gallery appears inconsistent: one room is dark, dusty and outdated while other images show a fully modernized interior and may be stock or renovation renders.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, so basic livability and legal configuration need verification.
- Condition, utilities and the extent of renovation are not stated; the very low price may indicate an auction or substantial work.
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 38/100This is flat rice-country in the Lomellina, part of the western Po plain between the Po and Sesia river systems. The area around Candia Lomellina is dominated by irrigated fields, canals, farmsteads and straight local roads. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, with the Parco del Po Piemontese on the opposite bank near Valenza and Casale Monferrato. Mortara is the nearest town of some size in the area, with rail connections and everyday services; Vercelli and Casale Monferrato are also close enough to matter for shopping and administration. The area is known for rice cultivation.
