Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €518/m², this is already about 28% above the local €406/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €22,800 for unspecified updating raises the effective cost to about €718/m². The independent layout, terrace, parking and garage are positives, but the listing does not say whether the main home is habitable or disclose key technical details.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished two-level home with a usable kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating, and a separate rustic garage/deposit. It appears immediately livable but visually ordinary, with dated decor and some exterior upkeep needed; the rural setting and low price add practicality more than dream-home beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes would likely benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Exterior walls show weathering and maintenance needs.
- No notable view, garden, or distinctive historic architectural features are visible.
- Only one bathroom is shown, although the larger bedroom may allow a second to be created.
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 34/100This is flat lower-Lombardy farmland in the Po plain, with fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads between the Lambro basin and the wider plain south of Milan. The nearest substantial town is Pavia, with a large historic centre and university, and Lodi is also nearby with everyday services and a historic centre. The area is known for arable farming and rice-growing landscapes elsewhere in the Pavia plain rather than for a specific scenic feature within the immediate surroundings.
