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
At €78,000 (€650/m²), the home is already 56% above the Lombardia baseline of €416/m²; adding an estimated €24,000 for habitable-condition updates gives an effective €850/m². It has a private garden and working heating, but the inland location and missing energy class do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, habitable 120 sqm home with a working kitchen, heating, multiple bedrooms, private garden space, and an additional two-level utility building. The leafy outdoor areas and colorful original-style flooring add charm, while the interiors are more practical than beautiful and lack standout views or historic character. At €78,000, the size, independence, and private outdoor space make it a strong value-oriented home rather than a dream-home showstopper.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 and bathroom are functional but noticeably dated.
- The home appears to have only one bathroom, with a squat-style toilet.
- No energy rating is provided, and the exterior has some aging finishes and exposed utility wiring.
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 34/100This is the lower Po plain around the Secchia valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and embankments. The Secchia flows nearby and the Po is not far to the north. Mantova is the nearest city of size, with major historic buildings and the lakes formed by the Mincio around the city. This part of southern Lombardia is known for intensive farming and for the earthquake-hit plain settlements between Mantova, Modena and Ferrara.
