List price is low at €268/m² (€37,500 for 140 m²) vs the regional median €409/m², but with an estimated €700/m² renovation the effective cost jumps to about €968/m² (€135,500 total), well above the local median. The listing omits building year and energy class and shows 0 bathrooms in the data, so scope/cost of works is unclear.
More on the house and the area
Large 140 m² town unit in Schio at a very low price — a clear bargain if you want a blank canvas. Some photos show high‑end panelling and finished floors, but the advertised condition is renovation-needed so expect to invest to make it a fully livable, comfortable home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Listing states 'needs renovation' — expect real work (likely kitchen/bath missing).
- No garden or scenic view — apartment-block location.
- Photos look inconsistent/staged; verify which images actually show this unit.
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.
