What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €72,000 asking price is €313/m², the description says the 230 m² country house needs renovation and separately cites approximately 170 m². At an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, effective cost is about €1,013/m², far above the Piemonte baseline of €398/m²; condition and building data are also missing.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old village farmhouse with exposed brick, traditional rooflines, a private courtyard, and some genuine historic character. However, the photos show an overgrown, largely unfinished property with damaged masonry and roof sections rather than a usable home, so it is primarily a renovation 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€46,000 – €81,000
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.
- Major renovation required; interiors are largely raw, cluttered, and unfinished.
- Visible roof damage and weathered masonry suggest potentially significant structural work.
- Only one bathroom is listed for approximately 230 sqm; utilities and habitability are unclear.
- No scenic view or particularly distinctive setting is shown.
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 flat lower Scrivia plain near the confluence with the Po plain, with intensive farmland and irrigation channels around the town. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and Tortona is the nearest larger town with rail services, shops and the cathedral area. The wider area is known for agriculture and for being on the historic route between Piedmont, Lombardy and Liguria.
