What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 140 sqm, the ask is €493/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €430/sqm, so it is not discounted on price alone. With a typical needs-renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,193/sqm; the 2,000 sqm buildable plot and station-facing location support value, but this looks more like a redevelopment play than a cheap livable home.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, very cheap farmhouse-style property with a useful 2,000 sqm plot, so it has some practical appeal. But the photos show a worn, plain exterior and no proven charm, view, or ready-to-live interiors; it reads as a redevelopment/renovation project rather than a dream Italian home. The land adds value, yet the station-front location feels functional more than beautiful.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Clear full renovation needed; exterior shows heavy wear and cracking.
- No interior photos, so current livability is unproven.
- Setting is practical rather than romantic: directly opposite the railway station.
- Outbuildings/secondary structures look tired and may need major work.
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 33/100This is flat rice-and-cereal country in the Lomellina, on the western edge of the Po plain. The Agogna and Terdoppio streams run through the wider area, and the Po is to the south near Sannazzaro and Mezzana Bigli. Mortara is the nearest town of size, with rail links and a small historic centre; Vigevano, with the Piazza Ducale and Sforza Castle, is farther but still within the wider area for services. The area is known for rice fields, irrigation canals and low, dispersed farming settlements.
