In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€529/m² sits above the local median of €405/m² (n=1538, solid baseline), so no bargain on land value. But at €45k total for 85m² townhouse with garage, private garden, autonomous methane heating, and fireplace, the absolute price is low. Fresh listing (1 day). Needs full renovation—budget ~€600/m² (€50k+) to make fully habitable, meaning all-in ~€95k. The barn conversion potential adds upside. Not distressed, not a trap: currently needs renovation but structurally a normal sale, free at deed. Fair deal given renovation overhead offsets the sub-median absolute price.
More on the house and the area
A semi-detached townhouse in Barbianello (Lombardia) needing renovation. Exterior shows exposed brick with worn plaster; interiors are dated and empty with tiled floors, a plain plaster fireplace, exposed painted beams and a basic bathroom. The metal spiral/cantilever staircase and brick arch add mild character but nothing striking. No standout view, location, or historic distinction. At €529/m² it is inexpensive but not an exceptional bargain given the renovation burden. Ordinary rural fixer-upper with no scroll-stopping features.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 58/100Redavalle sits in the Oltrepò Pavese, in vineyard hills on the first rises south of the Po plain. The area is part of the wine landscape around Stradella and Broni, known for vineyards and sparkling wine production. The nearest larger town is Voghera, which has full services and rail connections. Pavia is the nearest historic city of size, with a major university and a substantial old centre, but it is outside the immediate landscape.
