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 €87,000 for 140 sqm, the ask is €621/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€821/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €407/sqm. Good size and 30 photos help, but this is still roughly 2x the local baseline, with no strong location premium in a remote inland town.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home: clean, bright, furnished, with fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, stairs in good order, and clearly habitable rooms. But the wow factor is low, as the setting is ordinary and the house has little visible historic charm or standout design. The value for 140 sqm at this price helps, yet it feels more practical than dream-home beautiful.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 roadside village setting with no view, garden, or outdoor space shown
- Exterior is functional rather than attractive and shows some facade wear
- Interiors are habitable but very standard 1990s finishes with limited character
- Upper soffit/extra space is mentioned but not shown, so its condition/usability is uncertain
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 39/100This is in the lower Oglio plain between Cremona and the edge of the Brescian countryside, with flat farmland, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads as the dominant landscape. The Oglio river runs nearby and the Po is not far to the south, but this stretch is mainly an agricultural river plain rather than a gorge, lake or protected mountain setting. Cremona is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, the cathedral and Torrazzo, and daily services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the wider Cremonese plain’s dairy and cured-meat production.
