What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €818/m², the asking price is more than double the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m². The description confirms an independent residential property, but condition and key technical details are missing; even assuming habitable condition, the effective cost is about €1,018/m², making this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, clearly usable two-level home with a functioning kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, tiled floors, and covered parking. It is bright and well maintained but visually ordinary, with dated interiors and no proven scenic setting or standout architectural character.
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 finishes and furnishings would likely need cosmetic updating.
- No notable view, garden, terrace, or distinctive historic features are shown.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the 110 sqm house.
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 37/100This is the central Brescian plain, part of the low Po Valley landscape of fields, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Oglio river runs to the east of the area and is the main natural feature within reach. Orzinuovi is the nearest town of some size, with a working historic centre and everyday services; Brescia is the nearest major city for higher-level services and rail connections. The area is known for intensive agriculture and dairy farming in the Pianura Padana.
