See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000, the 220 m² property costs €455/m² before works; with substantial renovation estimated at about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,155/m² versus a €380/m² local benchmark. The renovated roof and private courtyard help, but the listing does not say how much of the farmhouse is legally habitable and gives no bathroom or energy details.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Lombardy farmhouse with a characterful brick-and-plaster courtyard, covered portico, balcony and private gated corte. However, the photos show a largely unfinished farm complex rather than a usable home, so it is a major conversion project despite the renovated roof and generous 220 sqm.
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€44,000 – €77,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Major renovation is required: the property has no visible finished bathroom or kitchen.
- Interiors are largely raw agricultural/farm spaces, with worn finishes, exposed services and overgrown courtyard areas.
- Roof replacement is stated in the description, but the condition of the remaining structure and utilities needs careful verification.
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 34/100The area lies on the lower Bergamo plain near the Oglio river, in predominantly flat agricultural country. The nearest town of size is Romano di Lombardia, which has a substantial historic centre and rail links; Treviglio and the eastern edge of the Milan-Bergamo plain are also part of daily life from here. The Alps are visible far to the north on clear days, but they are not part of the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the plain is known for irrigated farmland and for settlements along the Bergamo-Brescia provincial corridor.
