Asking €945/m² (€189k / 200 m²); assuming a light update at €200/m² gives an effective ~€1,145/m², well above the Lombardy median of €409/m². The listing omits an explicit condition but includes 15 photos, garden and double garage.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in two-unit villa with garage, cellar and what the listing calls a private garden — perfectly serviceable as-is but stylistically dated. Good floorplan and structure, but expect cosmetic renovation (kitchens, bathrooms, floors) and some work on the basement to make it a refreshed, comfortable 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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interiors are dated (1970s–80s finishes) and will need full modernisation to feel contemporary
- Basement/garage shows signs of damp and unfinished surfaces
- Photos don't show the garden or any notable views — outdoor space/setting unclear
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 52/100This is in the Lomellina, a flat part of the western Po plain with extensive rice fields, irrigation canals and straight rural roads. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie to the east, with river woodland, wetland areas and old gravel banks. Vigevano is the nearest larger town, with Piazza Ducale, the Castello Sforzesco and the services of a substantial provincial centre. The area is known for rice cultivation.
