See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €873/m² before works, this centrally located 102 m² villa is already about twice the local comparison level; allowing roughly €700/m² for the described modernization brings the effective cost near €1,573/m². Four garages and the terrace add real value, but the listing does not state the current condition clearly enough to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely independent, roofed city home with a large usable terrace and the exceptional bonus of four private garages at €89,000. The structure appears solid and livable, but the interiors are old-fashioned and the kitchen is currently unfinished, so this is a renovation-and-restyling project rather than a ready-made dream home.
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€20,000 – €36,000
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 interiors are dated and need clear modernization, especially the kitchen, walls, and finishes.
- The terrace is generous but overlooks neighboring buildings rather than an attractive landscape.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and the property’s energy rating is G.
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 55/100Voghera sits on the western edge of the Po plain where the plain meets the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese. The Staffora valley opens just to the south-west and the first ridges of the Ligurian Apennines are within about 15 km, with vineyard hills around Codevilla, Retorbido and Rivanazzano Terme. The nearest substantial town is Pavia, and for daily services Voghera itself is a rail and road centre with a historic core, hospital and full shopping and schools. This area is known for wine from the Oltrepò Pavese and for the spa town of Rivanazzano Terme nearby.
