What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,049/m² before works, this apartment is substantially above the local €597/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for an unspecified but potentially habitable condition makes the effective cost about €1,249/m². The listing is very sparse, with only one photo and no stated condition, bathroom details, construction year, or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a practical 78 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, a garage, and some outdoor space, but the floor plan offers no visual reason to dream about living here. Its condition, finishes, light, and surroundings are unknown, so it cannot score as a beautiful or clearly move-in-ready home.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Only a floor plan is provided, with no interior or exterior photos to verify beauty or condition.
- Bathroom provision is unclear from the facts and plan, which lists zero baths.
- No view, garden, historic character, or setting appeal is demonstrated.
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 38/100This is the central Venetian plain between Padova, Treviso and the mainland edge of Venice, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The River Muson dei Sassi runs through the comune. No mountain, lake or protected landscape falls within about 15 km. The nearest large towns are Padova, Mestre and Treviso, which provide city services, rail links and airports in the wider area. The area is known mainly for villa country on the mainland routes between the Brenta zone and Treviso rather than for a distinct landscape inside the immediate radius.
