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
Although tagged Habitable, the description clearly says it lacks heating and needs a full renovation, so I estimate about €900/m² works. Effective cost is roughly €1,254/m² (€35,000 + ~€81,900 on 91 sqm), far above the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m², partly offset by the included box, deposit and private garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a very plain village house rather than a dream-property scroll stopper, but it does come with useful extras: a private fenced vegetable garden, small outbuilding, box and storage. The structure appears intact and the rooms are real, usable spaces, yet interiors are heavily dated and show moisture/staining, and the lack of heating means it is not comfortably move-in ready. At €35k it has practical potential, but the wow is modest.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €35,000
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.
- Needs comprehensive renovation despite being basically habitable
- No heating system is installed
- Visible damp/staining and dated finishes throughout
- Shared courtyard setting with limited privacy
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 52/100This is the flat lower Po plain south of Pavia, with irrigated fields, canals and scattered farmsteads. The Ticino flows west of here and the Parco del Ticino begins within this radius, with riverside woods and wetland areas. Pavia is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, the Certosa di Pavia just beyond it, and rail links and services. The area is known for rice country and mixed Po Valley agriculture.
