Asking €93,000 (861 €/m2); with a modest refresh estimated at €100/m2 the effective price is about €960/m2 versus the regional median of €350/m2 — significantly above market. The house is habitable, heated and furnished with many photos, but it’s not seaside (9 km) and the price remains high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately-habitable bifamiliare with a private front garden — a practical family home rather than a picture-perfect renovation. Interiors are lived-in and dated (kitchen and bathroom would benefit from modernization), but the structure and outside space make this a realistic move-in property near the coast.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Dated 1970s/80s interior fixtures and finishes — needs cosmetic updating.
- Single bathroom only for whole house.
- Street-facing suburban plot, no notable views.
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 39/100This is the lower Livenza plain, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and the Livenza river system shaping the area. The nearest coast is the northern Adriatic around Caorle and the lagoon edge, but the cluster itself sits inland on the plain. Caorle is the nearest established seaside town of size, with a historic center and fishing port. Portogruaro is the nearest larger inland town, with arcaded streets and the main services and rail connections for the area. The wider area is known for agriculture and for the east Veneto plain between river, canals and coast.
