Effective price ~64,000€ (45,000€ + 19,000€ estimated refit) → ~674€/m2, about 65% above the regional baseline of 409€/m2. Nice central location with 150 m2 garden and garage, but the effective €/m2 makes this look overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
Sunny, characterful two‑storey house with warm wood ceilings/floors, a small balcony and a private garden — clearly lived‑in but habitable. Great value for the setting and ready to be refreshed into a very charming country home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Bathrooms are small and dated (one photo shows a squat toilet); sanitary fittings will need updating.
- Property is cluttered and needs cosmetic cleaning/decluttering and some refurbishment to modernise finishes.
- Heating/energy systems are not shown and may require upgrade or inspection.
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 37/100This is the central Lombardy plain between Crema and Cremona, with open agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Serio river runs west of here and the Adda is farther west; both shape the wider plain but are not the immediate setting of the village. Crema is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre and services, and Cremona is the larger city in the other direction.
