What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000, estimated all-in cost is about €128,400, or €405/m² after habitable-condition costs—only slightly below the €419/m² local benchmark. The listing is extremely sparse and does not say how many bathrooms there are, while the large size and non-tourist location limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a remarkably spacious, bright, fully finished home with polished contemporary interiors, a fitted kitchen, stylish bathroom, and generous open-plan living space. It appears genuinely habitable rather than a renovation project, and €65,000 for the stated 317 sqm is an exceptional price, though the generic apartment-block exterior and lack of distinctive setting limit the dream-home appeal.
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€21,000 – €35,000
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.
- The listing reports 0 bathrooms despite photos showing a finished bathroom; verify the official layout and facilities.
- The 317 sqm size and townhouse classification should be checked against cadastral records and the actual usable area.
- No exterior land, notable view, or historic Italian character is evident from the gallery.
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 34/100This is the lower Po plain, with the Po nearby as the main landscape feature. The area is flat farmland with embankments, irrigation canals and scattered hamlets. Within about 15 km the nearest town of some size is Badia Polesine, which has the usual services and a railway station on the Verona–Rovigo line. Ferrara is reachable for practical needs beyond the immediate area but lies outside the local radius.
