At €76,500, the estimated effective cost is about €603/m² after allowing €200/m² for habitable-condition work, versus a local benchmark of €419/m². The listing mentions heating and a cellar but does not say the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or energy class, so the apparent discount is not enough to make it a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, polished and apparently move-in-ready home with attractive modern interiors, a fitted kitchen, finished bathroom and generous wood flooring. At €76,500 for 190 sqm it looks like a strong space-for-money proposition, but it lacks the historic character, outdoor space or memorable Italian setting needed for a higher wow score.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- No meaningful landscape or town view is shown.
- The exterior appears urban and apartment-like rather than distinctly Italian.
- The gallery is limited and does not clearly show all rooms or the cellar.
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 43/100The area lies in the Adda river plain, with the River Adda nearby and a landscape of flat cultivated countryside, irrigation channels and riparian woodland along the river corridor. The Adda Sud Regional Park is nearby along this stretch of the river. Crema is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services; Lodi and the outer eastern edge of the Milan area are also part of daily geography. This part of the lower Lombard plain is known for intensive agriculture and for river meadows and woods along the Adda.
