The €51,000 asking price is attractive at €327/m², but estimated habitable-property costs bring the effective figure to about €527/m², above the local €444/m² benchmark. Garage, independent heating and 42 photos support the listing, though the description does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious townhouse with a fitted kitchen, multiple bedrooms, heating, garage, and finished bathrooms. However, the interiors are ordinary and somewhat dated, with no visible historic character, outdoor space, or special setting; the illustrative photos also make the real presentation less certain.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- No exterior, garden, street, or views are shown.
- Several bedroom/living images are explicitly illustrative staging photos rather than the actual property.
- Auction-style marketing and the listed zero bathrooms warrant verification of legal and functional details.
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 55/100This is the flat lower Po plain around Ferrara, with the Po di Volano and the Po river branches shaping the area. The Parco del Delta del Po lies within reach to the east, with wetlands, reclaimed farmland and pine woods in the delta zone. Ferrara is the nearest city of size and has a large historic centre with major Renaissance monuments; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and for the Po delta landscape rather than for relief.
