What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,000/m², the asking price is already far above the local €419/m² benchmark; with roughly €200/m² allowed for a habitable home, the effective cost is about €1,200/m². The listing also includes a commercial premises, so the residential value and exact use mix are less clear.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, habitable townhouse with working kitchen, bathroom, heating, enclosed balcony, cellar, and solid traditional terrazzo-style floors. However, it is an ordinary urban home with strongly dated finishes and no proven view, garden, historic character, or standout setting; expect cosmetic renovation to make it appealing.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Very dated interiors, especially the patterned wallpaper and old kitchen.
- The cellar/utility area appears basic and unfinished.
- No meaningful exterior, garden, or scenic view is shown.
- Only one bathroom is listed for three bedrooms.
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 the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat farmland, embankments, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Po runs just north of Schivenoglia and shapes the immediate landscape more than any hill or mountain feature. The nearest larger towns in daily use are Ostiglia and Poggio Rusco for basic services, while Mantova is the main historic city in the province.
