At €58,000 plus an estimated €140,000 for refreshing 200 m², the effective cost is about €990/m²—well above the local comparison level of €432/m². The listing describes a property needing rejuvenation but does not specify its current condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This has a generous private garden and some appealing rural Lombard character, including the old tiled-roof farmhouse form. However, the visible building condition is tired and the listing offers no interior proof that it is currently usable as a home, so it reads more as a renovation opportunity than a dream move-in villa.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 main property appears to need substantial renovation, with visibly weathered façades, damaged masonry and roof concerns.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual livability, kitchen/bathroom condition and utilities are unconfirmed.
- The advertised 200 sqm and one bathroom may require significant modernization for comfortable full-time living.
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 Po plain country near the Po River, with flat agricultural land, irrigation channels and scattered villages. The nearest town of size is Pavia, which has a substantial historic centre, university and services. The area is known for arable farming and, in the wider Oltrepò Pavese to the south, for vineyards, but around Rea itself the immediate landscape is the low plain.
