At €767/m² before renovation, this €56,000 property is already far above the local €187/m² reference; allowing roughly €700/m² for unspecified works makes the effective cost about €1,466/m². The listing only says “building or palace,” does not say whether it is habitable, and provides no layout, bathrooms, or condition details.
More on the house and the area
This is a fairly neat modern brick residential building, with a finished-looking tiled room, radiators, doors, and a tiled bathroom shell. However, the gallery strongly suggests an incomplete, barely usable home rather than a move-in-ready property, and it offers little visual charm or proven setting appeal.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- Appears unfinished, with no fitted kitchen or usable bathroom fixtures visible.
- Basement/garage areas are raw concrete and may require substantial finishing work.
- No compelling view, garden, historic character, or distinctive setting is shown despite the panoramic-view tag.
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 52/100This is in the western Po plain, in flat agricultural country between Pavia and the edge of the Milan urban area. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie nearby to the west, with river woods, old gravel banks and farmland along the park corridor. Pavia is the nearest town of size, with the historic centre, the Certosa di Pavia just to the east of the city, and rail and daily services. The area is known for rice fields and irrigated agriculture across the Lomellina and Pavese plain.
