At €45,000 (€250/m²), this habitable 180 m² townhouse looks inexpensive upfront, but allowing about €200/m² for remaining works brings the effective cost to roughly €450/m², slightly above the local €418/m² benchmark. Heating, garage, terrace and 22 photos are positives, but the listing does not state a bathroom count.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable 180 sqm townhouse in a very green, wooded setting, with a terrace, garage, heating, and a pleasant stone-built exterior. It is more practical and spacious than spectacular, and the advertised interiors cannot be relied on to represent the real finish or condition. At €45,000, the size and setting create a strong bargain appeal if the legal and technical details check out.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 interior images are explicitly illustrative renders, not photographs of the actual home.
- Bathrooms are not confirmed in the supplied facts.
- The exterior appears usable but dated, with steep access and substantial retaining walls.
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 51/100The cluster is on the lower slopes at the entrance to Val Trompia, with the Brescian Prealps immediately north. The Garza stream runs through the built-up area toward Brescia. Monte Maddalena rises just east of the urban area, and the slopes above Bovezzo are part of the hill and prealpine belt that frames the city of Brescia. Brescia is directly adjoining to the south and has the full range of city services, rail links and major historic monuments including the UNESCO site of Brescia romana and the monastic complex of San Salvatore-Santa Giulia. Lake Garda and Lake Iseo are not far by road but lie outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known historically for the Val Trompia metalworking and firearms industry.
