What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,500 plus an estimated €27,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €456/m²—roughly 24% below comparable Veneto apartments at €597/m². Garage and autonomous heating add value, but the listing does not state bedrooms or bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
On paper, this is an unusually large, habitable three-level home with garage and ancillary space for €34,500. The pictured interiors are modern and fully finished, but they are explicitly not the real property photos, while the actual listing offers little Italian character, landscape, or proven visual appeal.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- The listing states that the images are indicative and not photographs of the actual property, so condition and finishes are unverified.
- This is an auction property, with potential procedural, legal, and access-to-inspection risks.
- The published 135 sqm is an estimate rather than a figure taken from the official records.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
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 34/100The area lies in the lower Po plain, with flat farmland and drainage canals around the Po River system. The Po runs nearby and defines the landscape more than any relief. The nearest larger town of size is Legnago, which has the usual services and rail connections for the middle Adige-Po plain. This part of the Polesine and border area between Veneto and Lombardy is known for arable farming and river embankments.
