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 €755/m², this habitable townhouse is already 86% above the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m²; adding an estimated €22,000 (€200/m²) for updates gives an effective €955/m². The listing tags mention a garage, but the description explicitly says there is no garage or cellar.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and habitable townhouse with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms, heating, and a small private courtyard. However, the appearance is very ordinary and dated, with exterior wear and no distinctive views, historic features, or standout setting to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Dated interiors and visible peeling plaster suggest cosmetic renovation is needed.
- One ground-floor bathroom/laundry area is accessed via the courtyard rather than fully indoors.
- The house is on a regular residential street with no notable view, garden, or architectural character visible.
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 38/100This is the lower Po plain on the Po River, with flat agricultural land, poplar groves and embankments around the river. The area is part of the floodplain landscape between Casalmaggiore and the Oglio confluence, with no mountains or lakes within the immediate radius. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of size and has a full set of daily services, a historic centre and rail links. The wider area is known for river agriculture and for the Po plain landscape rather than for a singular protected or monumental site within the immediate surroundings.
