What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus an estimated €115,500 renovation cost (€1,100/m² × 105 m²), the effective cost is about €1,671/m² versus the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m². The property is totally to renovate, so the apparent low purchase price does not translate into a good deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, roofed farmhouse with generous rooms, traditional patterned floors, a covered portico and private outdoor space. However, the interiors show extensive damp and decay, and the home is clearly a major renovation project rather than a realistically move-in-ready house. Its character is modest and there is no proven scenic setting to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€42,000 – €62,000
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 property is explicitly totally to be renovated, with severe damp, dirty and deteriorated interiors, and an unusable bathroom.
- The rear structure appears unfinished or heavily deteriorated; verify roof, utilities, structural condition and renovation permissions.
- No notable views or distinctive village setting are shown; the property is in a dense residential context.
- The private courtyard and garden areas are useful but currently overgrown and basic.
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 central Brescian plain between Brescia and the lower course of the Oglio and Mella rivers, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The nearest city of size is Brescia, which has full city services and a substantial historic centre. Lake Garda and the first pre-Alpine relief are farther away and matter more for excursions than for the immediate landscape.
