€27,000 price plus estimated renovation €19,800 (€200/m²) gives an effective €473/m², about 16% above the Veneto baseline of €409/m²; habitable condition, autonomous heating and a garage are positives but the effective €/m² is not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A freshly finished-feeling 99 m² townhouse with contemporary floors, recessed lighting and autonomous heating — clearly habitable and inexpensive. Photos show at least one bathroom/utility area not fully fitted, and there’s no garden or scenic view, but the price and central, characterful Veneto location make it a very attractive buy for someone willing to finish the last details.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Bathroom/utility area appears unfinished and the facts list 0 baths
- No private outdoor space or notable views shown
- Town‑centre/narrow street location — external space may be limited despite a garage
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.
