What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 169 sqm, the ask is €444/sqm; with a habitable-condition estimate of ~€200/sqm renovation, effective cost is about €644/sqm versus a €408/sqm local baseline. The large size, 2-bath layout and 19 photos support a genuine livable house, but on pure numbers it is not discounted versus this already-low baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable home rather than a project: it has kitchens, bathrooms, heating and solid, lived-in rooms across a generous size. The private courtyard adds some everyday appeal, but the house is visually quite ordinary, with dated finishes and no special view or historic character. At the price and size it feels practical value more than dream-home wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Plain street-facing exterior with little architectural charm
- Interiors are dated and somewhat cluttered, so expect cosmetic updating
- No meaningful views or standout setting shown
- Private courtyard is usable but modest rather than picturesque

The area around
Location score 42/100Mortara sits in the Lomellina plain, a flat agricultural area between the Ticino and Sesia rivers with extensive rice fields and irrigation canals. The nearest larger town is Vigevano, which has a substantial historic centre focused on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. Pavia is also within ordinary driving distance for services and rail links. This area is known for rice cultivation and for goose-based food traditions of the Lomellina.
