Large cascina 350 m² for €32k looks cheap but, assuming a full renovation (~€700/m²), effective cost ≈€277k or ~€790/m² versus the regional baseline €380/m², so it is not a bargain. The ad gives no condition details and lists 0 bathrooms, so substantial works are likely despite 16 photos.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic closed-court cascina with original brick arches, beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and handsome old fireplaces — lots of authentic historic character and a private courtyard. The building is clearly a renovation project (exposed/partly missing roof, overgrowth, no visible modern services), so it’s a charming bargain for someone ready to do substantial work rather than a move‑in 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€69,000 – €123,000
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.
- Partial roof / coverings missing over the courtyard and upper loggiato — roof work likely required.
- Property needs full renovation: utilities, bathrooms and finishes appear absent or obsolete.
- Overgrown courtyard and vegetation; possible damp/structural repairs behind facades and arches.
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 39/100This is in the lower Oglio plain between Cremona and the edge of the Brescian countryside, with flat farmland, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads as the dominant landscape. The Oglio river runs nearby and the Po is not far to the south, but this stretch is mainly an agricultural river plain rather than a gorge, lake or protected mountain setting. Cremona is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, the cathedral and Torrazzo, and daily services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the wider Cremonese plain’s dairy and cured-meat production.
