At €35,000 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (89 m² → total ≈ €97,300), the effective price is about €1,093/m² versus the local baseline of €377/m², so this is overpriced. Listing is central and well photographed, but the ad states 105 m² commercial while the measured area is 89 m² and the energy class is not provided.
More on the house and the area
Hands down the best feature is the original wooden beams and large covered loggia — very characterful for a central Lombardy town. Structurally it looks intact and habitable after work, but the interior needs a full renovation to become the stylish home shown in the renders. Great low‑budget project and location close to services and Treviglio.
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 – €31,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires complete interior renovation (dated finishes, peeling plaster, old services).
- Large covered loggia and courtyard are attractive but check exact boundaries/ownership and utilities.
- Some images include staged/renders — current interiors are much more basic.
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 41/100Treviglio sits in the central Lombard plain between the Adda and Serio rivers, in a landscape of fields, irrigation canals and built-up towns. The Adda river corridor is the main nearby natural feature, with the Parco Adda Nord around places such as Cassano d’Adda and Fara Gera d’Adda. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with the Città Alta and major services, and Milan is also part of daily life from this part of the plain. The area is known more for agriculture, industry and rail connections than for a distinct landscape feature.
