What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €780/m² before works, the estimated effective cost rises to about €1,880/m² for the 100 m² house, far above the €469/m² local comparison level. The 1,500 m² buildable plot and multiple farm structures add value, but the property requires substantial renovation and the listing gives little detail on their condition.
More on the house and the area
A genuine rural Lombard cascinetto with an old tiled roof, portico, exposed brickwork, and a large 1,500 m² plot gives it authentic character and redevelopment potential. However, the exteriors are heavily weathered and overgrown, and the listing explicitly says it needs renovation; there is no evidence that it is currently a comfortable, move-in-ready home.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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 explicitly required; the property appears neglected and overgrown.
- No interior photos, so habitability, utilities, roof structure, and bathroom condition cannot be verified.
- Access appears to be via a rough, puddled lane.
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 58/100This is the western edge of the Lomellina, a flat irrigated plain between the Ticino and Sesia river systems, with rice fields, canals, poplar plantations and scattered farmsteads. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie within reach to the east, with riverside woods and old gravel banks. Vigevano is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre with Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. The area is known for rice cultivation and water-managed agriculture.
