What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,000 asking price (€205/m²) looks low, but the property is completely to renovate; at an estimated €1,100/m², effective cost is about €1,305/m² versus the Lombardia country-house baseline of €475/m². Large 288 m² projects can offer development potential, but this is not a sound bargain without unusually favorable renovation economics.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, potentially characterful old townhouse with exposed brickwork, a traditional courtyard, and an unusual external stair. However, the interiors are deeply deteriorated, with cracked walls, an outdated bathroom and kitchen, debris, and a visibly compromised timber ceiling, so it is a major renovation project rather than a livable dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€114,000 – €168,000
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.
- Completely renovation-needed, with visibly deteriorated finishes and a very poor bathroom and kitchen.
- Serious roof/ceiling deterioration is visible in at least one room; structural and moisture checks are essential.
- No attractive landscape view, garden, or terrace is shown; the property fronts a regular urban road.
- At 288 sqm, renovation costs could be substantial despite the low price per square metre.
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 central Bergamo plain, with flat agricultural land crossed by irrigation channels and minor roads between the Serio and Oglio river systems. The Oglio is the nearest named river of note, and the Serio valley begins farther north toward Bergamo. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic upper town, services and rail connections. The area is known for arable farming and the dense pattern of small plain towns typical of the Bassa Bergamasca.
