What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000, the catalog facts imply €1,100/m² versus a €416/m² local benchmark, making it look expensive unless the advertised 180 m² is correct rather than the recorded 90 m². The description suggests a substantial older home with garden and garage, but its condition and true usable area are unclear, so renovation costs could materially change the value.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in suburban villa with a pleasant peach facade, small private garden, garage, balcony, and generous usable space. The interiors are fully finished and functional, with two bathrooms and distinctive patterned floors, but the style is dated and there is no exceptional view, historic setting, or standout architectural feature.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 home appears livable but has dated interiors, bathrooms, fixtures, and finishes.
- Visible basement areas show some lower-wall staining that should be checked for damp.
- The listing conflicts on size: the facts say 90 sqm while the description says approximately 180 sqm.
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 42/100Mortara sits in the Lomellina plain, a flat agricultural area between the Ticino and Sesia rivers with extensive rice fields and irrigation canals. The nearest larger town is Vigevano, which has a substantial historic centre focused on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. Pavia is also within ordinary driving distance for services and rail links. This area is known for rice cultivation and for goose-based food traditions of the Lomellina.
