Estimated full cost ≈ €109,500 (€50,000 + €59,500 renovation) → ≈ €1,288/m2, about 7.3× the local median €176/m2, so expensive once renovation is included. Listing omits building condition and year, adding uncertainty to the refurbishment estimate.
More on the house and the area
A plain but solid first-floor apartment in the town centre with balcony, intact windows and radiators — a realistic, low-cost home if you’re prepared to renovate. Great value for recovery/tax-repair incentives, but expect a full cosmetic and systems upgrade before moving in.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Needs full renovation — bathrooms, kitchen, floors and surfaces are dated or missing.
- Dust, debris and leftover items throughout; cleaning and clearing required.
- Attic/loft space is unfinished and would need work; roof/structural details are unclear.
- No elevator (stairs shown) — apartment is on first floor above ground level.
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 38/100This is the central Po plain between the Adda and Oglio river systems, with flat agricultural land, canals and scattered farmsteads. The Adda river corridor is the main nearby natural feature, with the Parco Regionale Adda Sud covering stretches of river landscape, woodland and cultivated plain in this part of the province. Crema is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre and services, and Cremona is the larger provincial city for daily and weekly needs. The area is known for intensive farming and for the irrigated plain of Lombardy.
