What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price of €167/m² is well below the local median of €404/m², giving a strong discount even accounting for the property being sold 'da ristrutturare' (needs full renovation). At 209m², a full renovation (~€500/m²) adds ~€105k, bringing total to ~€140k vs a renovated market value near €84k+ — but the large size, independent townhouse with garden, garage, cellar and balcony offers solid upside. Fresh listing (3 days), 52 photos, and detailed description support credibility. Reasonable renovation project with good margin if costs stay controlled.
More on the house and the area
A 209sqm townhouse in Lomello (Lombardia) at €35k (€167/m2) — the price is the main talking point. Exterior shows a tired 1950s facade with peeling paint and visible cracks, flanked by a fenced yard; the two-tone stone/render lower level looks worn. Interiors are spacious with decorative ceiling rosettes and antique furniture giving faint period charm, but everything is dated: terrazzo floors, damp-stained walls, old cabinetry, cramped kitchens. No standout view, architecture, or setting. The wow here is purely the low price and generous footprint with garage, cellar and DIY outbuilding — appealing to renovators, not a visual scroll-stopper.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €41,000
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.
- Needs full renovation (peeling facade, damp/water-stained walls, cracked plaster)
- Dated interiors with terrazzo/tile flooring and old fixtures throughout
- No garden view or notable setting; ordinary village street location
- Cluttered, cleared of nothing—photos show heavy old furniture and stored items
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 35/100This is flat agricultural land in the western Lomellina, between the Po and the lower course of the Agogna, with a landscape of fields, irrigation channels, farmsteads and small villages. The nearest town of size is Mortara, which has rail connections and the normal services of a small provincial centre. Vigevano is the main historic town in the wider area, with Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for rice cultivation, part of the broader paddy plain of Lomellina.
