What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €447/m², the asking price is only 6% below the Lombardia country-house baseline of €475/m²; allowing for the partly commercial layout and uncertain residential condition, effective cost is about €658/m². The town-center location and 190 m² size help, but missing condition data and mixed residential/commercial use limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable town property with attractive exposed timber beams and a very low price for 190 sqm. However, the photos emphasize offices and a basic bathroom rather than a beautiful living space, while the street setting and exterior are fairly ordinary and somewhat tired.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- The listing is partly commercial, with offices and private bathrooms rather than a clearly presented home interior.
- Exterior finishes look weathered, with possible roof-edge and maintenance work needed.
- No garden, terrace, special views, or distinctive setting are 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 41/100This is the Bassa Bresciana plain, a flat agricultural area between Brescia and Cremona. The Mella and Oglio river corridors are the nearest named natural features in the wider area, with the Oglio marked by the Parco Regionale Oglio Nord to the west within this radius. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and major historic monuments. The area is known for intensive farming and small industrial settlements across the plain.
