What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is only €200/m², the property is explicitly to be renovated; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €900/m² (€135,000 total), versus a Lombardia baseline of €475/m². Its 150 m² size and potential for multiple units or a B&B add upside, but the renovation burden makes it only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old courtyard house with attractive mountain views, balconies, mature greenery, and a small garden plot. It is not a bare ruin—there are functioning-looking rooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, and floors—but the interiors are heavily dated and some areas show serious renovation needs, so it is a project rather than a move-in home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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 throughout, including finishes and likely parts of the roof or ceilings.
- Several interiors show temporary support posts, deterioration, and dated or incomplete areas.
- The external stair access and multi-level layout may limit accessibility and privacy.
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 61/100The cluster is in the lower Val Seriana, with the Bergamo Prealps immediately to the north and east. The Serio river runs through Nembro. Parco dei Colli di Bergamo begins just to the west on the hills above the city side of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are in the upper Val Seriana around Spiazzi di Gromo and Lizzola, roughly an hour or a little more by road. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with the Città Alta, major services, rail links and the airport area at Orio al Serio. This part of the valley is known for its industrial settlements along the river and for hill villages and sanctuaries on the valley sides.
