What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 300 m², the €300/m² asking price matches the local baseline, but the property requires renovation, bringing estimated effective cost to about €1,000/m² versus a €300/m² baseline. The large 2,000+ m² grounds add value, but condition and other key data are missing.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with characterful brick barns, shutters, old furnishings and open countryside around it. The main house appears roofed and structurally usable rather than a ruin, but it is clearly dated and requires meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable dream home. The 300 sqm size and 2,000+ sqm setting at €90,000 create strong potential, especially for an ambitious restoration project.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including peeling interiors, aging finishes and likely updates to systems.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 300 sqm property.
- Large agricultural outbuildings may add significant maintenance and conversion costs.
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 36/100Cortemaggiore sits in the lower Po plain. The Po is a few kilometres to the north, with levees, side channels and farmland along the river corridor. Within this radius the landscape is mainly flat agricultural land with scattered villages and farm buildings. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with rail services, hospitals and a substantial historic centre.
