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 €546/m², the asking price looks attractive, but allowing about €18,400 for a habitable-condition allowance brings the effective cost to roughly €746/m², above the local comparison level of €597/m². The description is extremely brief and does not state the bathroom situation, utilities, energy performance, or any renovation details.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable 92 sqm home with a bright open-plan upper floor, attractive exposed timber beams, skylights, two bedrooms, and a usable kitchen and bathroom. It feels more like a comfortable, lived-in residence than a dream Italian retreat, with no special landscape setting or outdoor space. The low auction price is appealing, but the property’s charm comes mainly from its practical condition and attic-style interiors rather than exceptional beauty.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Auction purchase adds procedural, financing, and occupancy risks.
- Energy class G and likely dated systems/finishes may require future upgrades.
- No garden, terrace, or notable view; the home faces a typical residential street.
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 48/100This is the northwestern edge of the Vicenza plain, with cultivated land, canals and scattered settlements at the foot of the Venetian Prealps. The Bacchiglione runs through the area. Vicenza is immediately south, with a substantial historic centre including Palladian buildings and city services. The first Prealpine relief rises within a short distance around Montecchio Maggiore, Schio and the lower valleys toward the Pasubio and Asiago areas, but the cluster itself is in the plain.
