See what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed it’s a house “da ristrutturare”; estimated renovation ≈ €155,400 (700 €/m² × 222 m²) so effective price is €173,400 or ≈ €781/m² versus the local median of €407/m². The low €18,000 asking price is attractive, but the huge renovation bill pushes the total cost well above regional norms, so this looks like a weak value despite good photo coverage (18 images).
More on the house and the area
Exposed timber beams and a private courtyard give the house real character, and at €18,000 the price is a strong bargain. The interior shows heavy damp, peeling plaster and some roof/exterior decay — this is a renovation project, 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€44,000 – €78,000
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.
- Significant renovation required: full electrical, plumbing and finishes.
- Widespread damp/mould stains and visible water damage on ceilings and walls.
- Partial roof/external structure issues in the courtyard area; not immediately habitable.
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 52/100The area is the lower Oglio plain near its meeting with the Po, with flat agricultural land, drainage channels and poplar-lined roads. The Oglio River runs nearby, and the Po is a short distance south around Viadana and Dosolo. Mantova is the nearest city of size, with a historic center and ducal monuments. Sabbioneta is nearby and is a UNESCO World Heritage site as an ideal Renaissance town. This part of the province is known for irrigated farming and Po Valley food production.
