List price €65,000 (€203/m2) looks cheap versus the regional baseline €376/m2, and the approved project plus new sewage hookup are positives; however a full renovation estimated at €700/m2 (≈€224,000 total) brings the effective cost to €289,000 or ≈€903/m2, well above typical local values, so this is an expensive full‑renovation project despite the low asking price.
More on the house and the area
A large traditional Lombardy farmhouse with original beams, brick portico and a small yard — it has genuine rustic character but no special views. The roof is mostly in place and a project is already approved (sewer hookup done), yet most interiors are unfinished barn/loft spaces and require substantial work, so this is a renovation/investor opportunity rather than an immediately liveable dream 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€63,000 – €112,000
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.
- Extensive renovation required — many spaces are raw barn/loft with dirt floors.
- Balcony and some roof/structural elements show deterioration and will need inspection/repair.
- Not move-in ready: no visible bathrooms/kitchen; verify utilities despite new sewer hookup.
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 49/100The cluster is in the lower Ticino valley, with the Ticino river and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino within the local landscape. Lake Maggiore begins a short distance to the north around Sesto Calende and Angera, but the main setting here is river plain, woods and farmland rather than open lake shore. Somma Lombardo is a small town with a substantial historic centre and the Visconti Castle. Malpensa airport is immediately adjacent and is a major element of the surroundings.
