See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €54,000, the house is about €378/m², but its renovation brings the estimated effective cost to roughly €1,078/m² versus a local reference of €416/m². The large 100 m² terrace and generous layout add potential, but the property is clearly described as needing renovation and is not a strong value at this price.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid-looking town house with a genuinely appealing asset: an approximately 100 m² terrace, plus a traditional fireplace and cellar. The interiors are usable in parts, with finished floors, heating and furnishings, but the house clearly needs meaningful renovation rather than simple redecoration.
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€28,000 – €50,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required, especially the kitchen/plumbing and general finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a six-bedroom layout.
- The property is in an ordinary built-up setting with no notable view or landscaped land visible.
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 33/100This is flat rice-and-cereal country in the Lomellina, on the western edge of the Po plain. The Agogna and Terdoppio streams run through the wider area, and the Po is to the south near Sannazzaro and Mezzana Bigli. Mortara is the nearest town of size, with rail links and a small historic centre; Vigevano, with the Piazza Ducale and Sforza Castle, is farther but still within the wider area for services. The area is known for rice fields, irrigation canals and low, dispersed farming settlements.
