Asking €78,000 for 215 m2 (listed €363/m2) and described as habitable; I estimate €200/m2 renovation, giving total ≈€121,000 or ≈€563/m2—about 61% above the Veneto median €350/m2. That premium makes it an overpriced listing despite being habitable and having 14 photos.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid bifamiliare with usable rooms, garage and private paved courtyard — move-in condition but very dated. Good floor area for the price, but no scenic views or historic features; expect to modernize kitchens, bathroom and attic space.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 — needs cosmetic updating
- Only one small bathroom for the size of the house
- Upper attic/loft area appears unfinished
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 67/100The cluster is in the upper Agno valley at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, with Prealpine slopes and ridgelines closing the valley on both sides. The Agno river runs through Valdagno. The nearest mountain landscape is the chain above Recoaro Terme and the Passo delle Piccole Dolomiti area, about 10 to 15 km away, with the small ski area of Recoaro Mille roughly a 30 minute drive. Vicenza is the nearest larger city, with rail services, a full range of shops and hospitals, and Palladian monuments including the UNESCO city centre and villas in the wider province. The area is known for its valley industry around wool textiles and for access to the southern Vicentine Prealps.
