The €50,000 asking price is attractive at €370/m² versus the €465/m² local reference, but the condition and habitability of the two units are not stated; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation raises the effective cost to about €1,070/m². The 5,600 m² agricultural land adds potential value, but the incomplete description makes this a weak, high-uncertainty project.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful rural compound with old brickwork, timber beams, tiled floors, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and approximately 5,600 sqm of land. The buildings are roofed and retain real rooms rather than being a bare shell, but the interiors are dated and the exterior is severely overgrown, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €48,000
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 and clearing appear necessary; the property is heavily overgrown and neglected.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and no clearly finished modern kitchen or bathroom is shown.
- Roof, masonry, utilities, and structural condition should be professionally verified before purchase.
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 55/100Voghera sits on the western edge of the Po plain where the plain meets the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese. The Staffora valley opens just to the south-west and the first ridges of the Ligurian Apennines are within about 15 km, with vineyard hills around Codevilla, Retorbido and Rivanazzano Terme. The nearest substantial town is Pavia, and for daily services Voghera itself is a rail and road centre with a historic core, hospital and full shopping and schools. This area is known for wine from the Oltrepò Pavese and for the spa town of Rivanazzano Terme nearby.
