In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is only €194/m², the 258 m² building is currently used as a garage and cellar, has no bedrooms or bathrooms, and needs substantial conversion work; with estimated works, the effective cost is about €1,094/m² versus roughly €375/m² for comparable homes. The listing does not say whether residential use and the required conversion are legally permitted, despite mentioning a new roof.
More on the house and the area
The brick-framed windows, patterned ventilation masonry, and exposed timber give the facade some authentic northern Italian character. However, this is currently a large garage/cellar shell with no bathroom or bedrooms, so it is a renovation project rather than a realistically livable house today.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €90,000
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.
- Currently used as a garage and cellar rather than a home.
- No bathroom or bedroom is shown or listed, so substantial conversion work is required.
- Interiors are unfinished and utilitarian, despite the recently renewed roof.
- Urban street setting offers no notable view or private outdoor space.
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 42/100This is the flat agricultural plain between Bergamo, Treviglio and Crema, in the Bassa Bergamasca. The Serio river runs a few kilometres east of Caravaggio, and the Adda river is within about 15 km to the west near Cassano d'Adda. Caravaggio is known for the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Fonte, a major pilgrimage church on the plain. Treviglio, the nearest larger town, has rail links, shops and services. Bergamo and Milan are reachable for work and transport, but they sit outside the immediate landscape.
