Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000, the effective cost is about €1,593/m² after allowing for its reported good-maintenance condition, more than double the €769/m² local reference. The listing claims 70 m² while the recorded size is 61 m², and energy class G plus no elevator weaken the value despite good transport links.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, bright, fully usable apartment with a fitted kitchen, comfortable living room, bedroom, and intact finishes. However, it is a very ordinary suburban building with no proven view, outdoor space, historic character, or memorable Italian setting, so it offers practicality rather than a dream-home wow factor.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Generic apartment with no distinctive historic character, garden, terrace, or notable view.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs and future efficiency work.
- First-floor unit in a building without an elevator.
- Property appears to become available in about eight months.
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 35/100No mountains or named ranges: the cluster sits on the flat Lombardy section of the Po Valley (Padana plain). There is no lake or coast nearby; the Adda River and its irrigation network and canals shape the local plain and are the main waterways in the Lodi area. Parts of the Parco Adda Sud (regional park along the Adda) protect riverine and floodplain habitats in the wider Lodi area. There are no ski lifts in the vicinity; Alpine ski areas lie well north of the plain. The nearest town of size is Lodi, which provides a historic centre with a cathedral, municipal services, shops and a regional train station with links toward Milan. Major roads and the A1 motorway run through the province and there are industrial/logistics zones around Lodi. The surrounding territory is intensively farmed: arable crops, maize/cereals and dairy/food-processing farms are typical economic activities. No UNESCO, Bandiera Arancione or Bandiera Blu status applies to the immediate area.
