The €32,500 price (€361/m²) looks cheap, but the description says every room and the rustic cellar need to be reinvented; allowing about €1,100/m² puts the effective cost near €1,461/m², far above the local €414/m² benchmark. Being near the town center is a plus, but the listing does not state the property's formal condition or technical details.
More on the house and the area
This has some authentic village character, including exposed brick, old timber elements, shutters, and traditional street-front architecture. However, the property is essentially a heavy renovation project with visibly deteriorated interiors and ancillary structures, so it is not yet a realistically livable dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- Major renovation project with severely deteriorated plaster, masonry, doors, and roof structures.
- The listing describes the property as a blank canvas/rustico to transform; it is not currently move-in ready.
- No attractive view, private outdoor space, or finished kitchen/bathroom is evident in the photos.
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 37/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat agricultural land and scattered irrigation channels. The Po runs nearby, and the Lambro also crosses the municipal area before joining the Po. The most notable feature within the area is the castle complex at Chignolo Po, known as the Castello Procaccini Alberoni. The nearest larger centres in daily use are Pavia and Lodi, which provide rail links, hospitals and full services. The area is known mainly for arable farming in the Po Valley.
