Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 346 m² property at €110,000 = €318/m²; with an estimated €200/m² refresh the effective cost is ≈€518/m², about 13% above the regional median of €457/m². The ad has 18 photos and central location, but it does not state the building condition, so this reads as a fair (not exceptional) deal.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, characterful interior with exposed wooden beams, brick arches and a dramatic loft space plus private courtyard parking — a lot of charm for the price. Structurally appears solid and already has bathrooms/heating, but expect cosmetic work, new floors and interior subdivision to make it a comfortable family 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€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Worn painted/resin flooring throughout — most buyers will want to replace or refloor.
- Very large open attic/loft is a great feature but will need partitioning/insulation to create private bedrooms.
- Some staining/patches on floors and walls visible — cosmetic and minor damp repairs likely required.
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 33/100This is the flat lower Po plain between the Oglio and Po river systems, with arable land, drainage channels and dispersed farmsteads as the dominant landscape. The Oglio runs to the east of the area and the Po is to the south, but around Torre de' Picenardi the setting is mainly cultivated plain rather than a riverfront landscape. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of some size, with services and a working historic centre on the Po. Cremona is the nearest provincial capital in daily reach, with a larger service base and its cathedral square. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the wider Cremonese plain of dairy farming and cured-meat production.
