In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse with autonomous heating, but effective cost with a modest renovation is about €83.4k total (≈€725/m²) versus the regional median of €409/m², so this is priced well above typical stock. Listing is very sparse (no room/bed/bath counts), which reduces confidence.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly roomy 115 m² townhouse with a bright, loft-like living area and a high-spec bathroom, offering real habitable space at a very low price. Some interior rooms look neglected and the exterior is an ordinary urban block, so expect patchy finishes and light renovation to make it a cohesive, dream 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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Photos are inconsistent — some rooms look newly renovated while at least one bedroom appears dusty and neglected.
- Exterior shown is a plain urban brick block, not a picturesque Veneto façade or garden.
- Expect cosmetic work/repairs in places despite the modern bathroom and bright attic space.
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 43/100The area is on the Riviera del Brenta along the Brenta River, in the flat settled plain between Padova and Venezia. This stretch is known for the villas of the Riviera del Brenta, including several historic Venetian villas along the river corridor. Mira and Dolo are the nearest larger centres on the same axis, with the everyday services of a dense small-town belt, and Padova and Venezia are the nearest major cities for higher-level services and transport. The landscape within reach is mainly urbanised plain, waterways, roads and cultivated land rather than a distinct natural setting.
