What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 82 m², the asking price is €1,037/m² versus the Lombardia country-house baseline of €474/m²; assuming habitable condition, effective cost is about €1,237/m² after modest renovation. Garden, courtyard, railway access and the additional 86 m² accessory add value, but the listing omits condition and technical details.
More on the house and the area
A solid, traditional country house with a generous private garden, mature fruit trees, terrazzo floors, vintage wallpaper, chandeliers and original detailing. It looks like a real, usable home rather than a shell, though significant cosmetic updating and likely modernization of the kitchen and bathroom would be needed.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- The house is fully roofed and appears usable, but interiors and kitchen/bathroom are distinctly dated.
- The large accessory room/garage area looks utilitarian and may need improvement or checking for damp and services.
- No scenic view or standout architectural feature is shown; the appeal is mainly the garden and vintage atmosphere.
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 42/100Mortara sits in the Lomellina plain, a flat agricultural area between the Ticino and Sesia rivers with extensive rice fields and irrigation canals. The nearest larger town is Vigevano, which has a substantial historic centre focused on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. Pavia is also within ordinary driving distance for services and rail links. This area is known for rice cultivation and for goose-based food traditions of the Lomellina.
