At €39,000, the 256 m² townhouse is listed at €152/m²; allowing roughly €51,200 for habitable-condition works gives an estimated €90,200 total, or €352/m², below the local €417/m² benchmark. The terse listing provides only three photos and does not say how many bedrooms or bathrooms it has, so verify the layout and condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, roofed townhouse with a traditional rural facade and plenty of floor area, but it is visually plain rather than dreamlike. It may be a usable bargain home, yet the dated exterior, workshop-like surroundings, and lack of interior evidence keep the appeal modest.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- The exterior is dated and utilitarian, with a large garage/workshop frontage.
- Surrounding views appear cluttered and semi-industrial rather than scenic.
- Bathrooms and kitchen are not documented in the listing facts.
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.
