See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €924/m², or roughly €1,124/m² after allowing €200/m² for likely updating, this is well above the local comparison level of €414/m². The house has a private garden, garage and usable layout, but its condition is not stated and energy class G adds uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable two-level home with a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and attractive vintage details such as patterned floors and marble stairs. It is not a dream interior and clearly needs cosmetic work, modernization and possible damp repairs, but it appears livable rather than a renovation shell.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Visible peeling paint and wall damp/staining suggest refurbishment is needed.
- Interiors, kitchen and bathroom are very dated and may need modernization.
- Energy class G; garden and exterior quality are not shown in 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 37/100This is the flat lower Lombardy plain between the Lambro and Po systems, with cultivated fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads. The Lambro runs near Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, and the Po is farther south beyond the immediate area. Lodi is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre and services; Milan is important for work and transport but lies beyond the local landscape. The area is known for intensive agriculture and dairying in the Po Valley.
