What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Rustico of 40sqm at 200 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 382 EUR/m2, roughly half the local median, a solid discount. Total price only 8000 EUR. Habitable but needs full renovation (no bathroom, completely da ristrutturare), so budget ~1000 EUR/m2 to make it livable = ~40k, keeping all-in cost well below market. Central location in Garlasco, semi-detached, fresh listing (3 days). Missing energy class and no baths. Not a trap, just a genuine fixer-upper with room to add value.
More on the house and the area
A 40 sqm semi-detached rustico in central Garlasco (Lombardia) priced at just EUR 8,000. The exterior shows severe decay: peeling ochre plaster, exposed crumbling brick, and a weathered old timber-roofed facade with a battered wooden door. Interiors are packed with decades of accumulated junk (bicycles, furniture, sacks, dust) and show clear water staining, cracked walls and dark cramped rooms. The extremely low price is the only notable feature, but the sheer scale of dereliction and clutter offsets any bargain appeal. No standout architectural, view, or location wow factors present. Ordinary derelict shell needing complete rebuild.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €14,000
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.
