At €20,000 for 103 m², estimated total cost is about €40,600, or €394/m² versus a €417/m² local benchmark—a modest discount rather than a major bargain. The habitable townhouse includes a garage, balcony and panoramic view, but the listing does not specify bathrooms, energy class or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 103 sqm townhouse at an unusually low €20,000, with a private-looking grassy garden, garage, shutters, tiled roof and a pleasant traditional exterior. The interiors appear basic but furnished and livable rather than a raw shell, although the property is ordinary in finish and would benefit from modernization and better upkeep.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 house is described as habitable, but no bathroom or kitchen is shown in the gallery.
- Exterior areas appear dated and somewhat untidy, with visible maintenance needs.
- The advertised panoramic view is not clearly demonstrated by 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 49/100Voghera sits on the Po plain at the meeting point of the Staffora valley and the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese. The Staffora river runs by the town, and within a short drive to the south the landscape becomes vine-covered hills with small villages and roads climbing toward the Ligurian Apennines. The nearest larger centre is Pavia, with a historic centre and university, while daily services are already concentrated in Voghera itself as a rail and road hub. The area is known for wine production in the Oltrepò Pavese, especially Pinot Nero and sparkling wines.
