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 €29,000 for 72 sqm, the ask is €403/sqm, but it is completely to renovate; using about €700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €1,103/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €350/sqm for this stock, so despite the low entry price this looks weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is a little old-house character here in the brick doorway, deep-set windows and aged beams, and the price is undeniably low. But this is a full renovation project, not a usable home yet: unfinished service areas, visible damp, cracks and rough rooms dominate the gallery. Dream value is limited because the beauty is modest and the condition is clearly poor.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.

The area around
Location score 51/100Cerano sits in the flat western Po plain between Novara and the Ticino valley. The Ticino river and the Parco del Ticino are within reach to the east, with riparian woodland, wet meadows and former gravel-pit lakes in that corridor. Novara is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for irrigated rice country and a network of canals and farmsteads typical of the Novara plain.
