What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 for 72 sqm, the ask is €403/sqm, slightly below the local low-end baseline of €467/sqm, but the property is described as completely to be restored. Using about €1,100/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €1,503/sqm, far above this baseline, so the low sticker price does not translate into a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap three-level village/courtyard house with a few authentic details like brick-framed openings and old beam ceilings. But the photos show a full renovation project, with unfinished service areas, cracked and worn rooms, and no real ready-to-live spaces. It feels more like a basic shell with some historic bones than a dream home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €42,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not currently move-in ready.
- Kitchen and bathroom areas are unfinished/incomplete.
- Visible cracking, damp staining and tired surfaces suggest broader works.
- Only limited character is visible and no view/outdoor appeal is shown.
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 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.
