What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €27,000 for 75 sqm, the asking price is €360/sqm, below the local low-stock baseline of €430/sqm, but the home is explicitly to renovate; using about €700/sqm works gives an effective cost near €1,060/sqm. The large 550 sqm private outdoor area and serviced town location help, but after renovation this looks more like a solid project than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real house rather than a shell: it has floors, rooms, bathrooms and appears structurally usable, but it needs significant updating. The main appeal is practical value and the 550 sq m private plot, not beauty or atmosphere. At €27k it feels like a cheap renovation project with outdoor potential, but not a dream-home scroll stopper as shown.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.

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 38/100This is the Lomellina plain between the Po and Ticino systems, with flat farm country around Mede and a landscape dominated by arable fields and rice country. The Agogna runs through Mede, and the Po is a few kilometres to the south near Breme and Sartirana. Vigevano is the nearest larger town of note, with a substantial historic centre centred on Piazza Ducale and the Castello Sforzesco. The area is known for rice cultivation and irrigated agriculture.
