What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€203/m²), the 320 m² farmhouse requires a major approved-redevelopment project; estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,303/m², far above the Lombardia baseline of €380/m². The approved project is useful, but the listing lacks habitable specifications, rooms, utilities, and energy data.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Lombard farmhouse with attractive old timber framing, brickwork, arches and a garden setting. However, most of the property is an uninhabitable rustic shell or storage area, with raw floors, exposed structure and no visible modern services, so its character is outweighed by the scale of renovation needed.
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€127,000 – €187,000
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 project with no visible kitchen or bathroom and several raw, dirt-floored spaces.
- Roof and timber structures appear aged, with openings and possible structural work required.
- The property is cluttered, unfinished and not currently suitable for living; verify utilities, approvals and conversion costs despite the approved project.
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 49/100The cluster is in the lower Ticino valley, with the Ticino river and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino within the local landscape. Lake Maggiore begins a short distance to the north around Sesto Calende and Angera, but the main setting here is river plain, woods and farmland rather than open lake shore. Somma Lombardo is a small town with a substantial historic centre and the Visconti Castle. Malpensa airport is immediately adjacent and is a major element of the surroundings.
