See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (auction purchases carry extra legal risks and costs) and the ad warns the photos are not the real images. Price €40,341 for 629 m² = €64/m²; with a conservative €200/m² renovation (~€166,141 total) the effective ≈€264/m² versus regional median €375/m², but the auction status makes it unsuitable for regular buyers.
More on the house and the area
Some photos show bright, contemporary, move‑in ready interiors and a modern bathroom, so parts of the space could be lived in immediately. However the images are inconsistent and there’s no clear evidence of the farmhouse’s courtyard/land or historic character, so expect inspection and likely works on outbuildings and services.
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€42,000 – €70,000
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.
- Listing notes images are indicative and may not be the real photos of the property
- Gallery is inconsistent — some rooms look newly finished while others appear worn/unfinished
- No clear photos of the farmhouse exterior, courtyard, land or views so rural character is unproven
- Large cascina with outbuildings may still need maintenance despite habitable rooms; check services and energy upgrade needs
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 36/100This is open Po plain country between Cremona and Brescia, with irrigated farmland, canals and scattered farmsteads. The Oglio River runs a few kilometres east of Castelvisconti, and the Adda and Serio are also part of the wider plain landscape in this part of the province. Soresina is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a rail link; Crema and Cremona are the larger historic towns used for higher-order services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and dairy production linked to the Padana plain.
