At €100,000 (€391/m²), this mixed-use palazzina is already about 2.4× the local benchmark before renovation, and estimated works could raise the effective cost substantially. The listing describes two apartments and two shops in a central location, but does not state the building’s condition or residential usability in detail.
More on the house and the area
This is a handsome historic town palazzina with elegant green shutters, wrought-iron balconies, terrazzo floors, arched ceilings, and attractive views over Casteggio’s rooftops and church towers. The upper-floor apartments look solid and broadly habitable, but they are very dated and need cosmetic renovation plus kitchen work; the ground-floor shops make it more of a mixed-use investment than a ready-made dream home.
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€51,000 – €90,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with visible wall and ceiling cracks.
- At least one kitchen appears incomplete or absent and would need fitting out.
- The property includes two street-level commercial units, so it is not a straightforward single-family home and may have traffic or business noise.
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 58/100This is in the Oltrepò Pavese hill country, on the first ridges south of the Po plain, with a landscape of vineyards, mixed woods and small valleys. The Staffora valley lies nearby, and the northern Ligurian Apennines rise farther south within the wider area. The nearest larger town is Voghera, which provides the main rail links, services and shopping for this part of the province. The area is known above all for wine, especially Oltrepò Pavese sparkling wines and Pinot Nero.
