In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable villa with good photos and garage, but after an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is €133,600 total (~€499/m²), about 42% above the Veneto median of €350/m². The house is livable and close to amenities, yet the large size and renovation uplift make the all-in cost high for the area.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, habitable family villa with a large forecourt and open views over fields and a distant church tower. Interiors are lived-in and functional but dated — cosmetic modernization of kitchens/bathrooms and some exterior work required. Excellent size and land for the price, a strong value buy if you want a roomy home to update.
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€18,000 – €30,000
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 interiors and finishes throughout
- Bathrooms and kitchen need updating
- Façade and external areas (large paved forecourt) need landscaping/refresh
- Check roof/insulation and heating efficiency
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.
