The €95,000 asking price becomes roughly €315,000 after estimated renovation, or about €1,575/m²—far above the €290/m² local benchmark. The listing describes a substantial renovation project in the countryside, with no strong location premium to justify the gap.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional farmhouse with exposed timber beams, old brickwork, red shutters, and generous green grounds surrounded by open farmland. It has the bones of a real family home, including a usable-looking kitchen/living area and bathroom, but it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready house.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation; the exterior shows substantial age, weathering, and neglected outbuildings.
- Interior condition is mixed: one living area and bathroom appear usable, but other spaces are storage-like and in poor condition.
- No interior photos confirm the full layout or the stated second bathroom, and renovation costs could be significant.
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 42/100The Po runs by Brescello and the immediate landscape is the lower Po plain, with embankments, fields and scattered riverside settlements. Within this radius the main historic centre of size is Guastalla, which has a service-town role for the area and a planned central square. The wider setting is the flat agricultural plain between Parma, Reggio Emilia and Mantua, known for Po Valley farming and for the Don Camillo and Peppone association in Brescello itself.
