Price is €30,915 (≈€139/m²) but I estimate major works ~€700/m² → renovation ≈€156,100 and an effective cost ≈€839/m², about 2× the regional typical €409/m²; the listing omits condition and bathrooms, so renovation risk is high.
More on the house and the area
Large 223 m² townhouse photos include a high‑end modern kitchen and a very polished bathroom, so parts of the property appear move‑in ready. However mixed images (an ugly apartment-block façade and a worn/dilapidated bedroom) mean the finish may be uneven or the advert mixes different units — verify condition and exact layout before assuming turnkey.
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€44,000 – €78,000
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.
- Photos are inconsistent — some rooms look newly finished while one looks dilapidated
- No clear exterior or private outdoor space shown
- Listing data shows 0 baths despite bathroom photo — confirm factual details
- Condition and legal status unclear from images
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 34/100This is flat agricultural country on the south side of the Verona plain, between the lower Adige and the Fratta-Gorzone drainage area, with fields, canals and scattered hamlets as the immediate landscape. The nearest town of size is Legnago, which has the usual services, a rail station and a substantial built-up area. Verona is farther away and matters more for jobs and transport than for the lived landscape around the village. The area is known for irrigated farming on the plain.
