Asking €25,000 for 124 m² but requires full renovation (~€700/m² ≈ €86,800), giving an effective price ≈ €112,000 (≈ €902/m²) vs Lombardy median €409/m²; central location helps but renovation doubles the cost above market.
More on the house and the area
Large, very affordable town‑centre house with attractive exposed beams and brickwork that hint at real character. Currently a rough, gutted shell — good for a renovation project but not move‑in ready.
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€24,000 – €44,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 33/100This is the lower Po plain between the Oglio and Po river systems, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Oglio runs a few kilometres east and joins the Po south of the area. Casalmaggiore is the nearest larger centre, with a hospital, secondary schools and rail links, and Cremona is the main provincial city used for wider services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the Po Valley dairy and cured-meat economy.
