Listed at €24,490 (€183/m²) for 134 m²; assuming light works (~€200/m²) gives an effective €383/m² versus the regional median €409/m², so it's a modestly better-than-average buy. The listing omits condition and energy class and oddly reports zero bathrooms, which is suspicious.
More on the house and the area
Very inexpensive suburban semi-detached with a small private garden and single garage, but the interior is a raw brick shell with exposed beams. The unit has no systems or finishes and is not currently habitable — suitable only as a renovation project, not move-in ready.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Property is 'al grezzo' (unfinished shell) and declared not habitable
- No heating, electrical or plumbing systems; no screeds, plaster or finishes
- Exterior woodwork/windows reported in poor condition; full renovation 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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain at the edge of the Venetian lagoon system, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and river embankments. The Adige runs just south of Cavarzere, and the Brenta system and the southern lagoon margins are part of the wider landscape of this part of the province. Chioggia is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, fishing port and lagoon waterfront. This part of Veneto is known for market gardening, arable farming and the hydraulic landscape of bonifica land.
