What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€636/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,336/m² after €700/m² renovation, versus a Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m². The central location and 25 m² garage help, but the condition is unspecified and the price remains high relative to the local stock.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed three-level home with tiled floors, heating, a basic kitchen and a large garage, so it is more than an empty shell. However, the architecture and courtyard are plain, while the interiors and exterior finishes need substantial refreshing before they feel comfortable or inviting.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.
- Significant cosmetic renovation is needed, with peeling paint, worn doors and visibly dated interiors.
- The photos do not show the bathroom, so its condition and equipment are unclear.
- No private garden, attractive views or standout architectural features are evident.
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 40/100The area is in the flat farmland of the middle Po plain, between the Adda and Serio river country, with a landscape of fields, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Adda river corridor is the main nearby natural feature, with the Parco Regionale Adda Sud to the west and south-west of Pandino. Crema is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services; Lodi is also close for daily needs. Pandino is known locally for the Castello Visconteo in the town.
